Recipe Summary Kale, Quinoa, And Avocado Salad With Lemon Dijon Vinaigrette
Steaming the kale removes some of the bitterness. The salad dressing ties all the flavors together. A quartet of super foods (kale, quinoa, avocado, and olive oil) make this a healthy meal!Ingredients | Salad Dressing Recipes Easy
⅔ cup quinoa
1 ⅓ cups water
1 bunch kale, torn into bite-sized pieces
½ avocado - peeled, pitted, and diced
½ cup chopped cucumber
⅓ cup chopped red bell pepper
2 tablespoons chopped red onion
1 tablespoon crumbled feta cheese
¼ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 ½ tablespoons Dijon mustard
¾ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
Bring the quinoa and 1 1/3 cup water to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender, and the water has been absorbed, about 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Place kale in a steamer basket over 1 inch of boiling water in a saucepan. Cover saucepan with a lid and steam kale until hot, about 45 seconds; transfer to a large plate. Top kale with quinoa, avocado, cucumber, bell pepper, red onion, and feta cheese.
Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, sea salt, and black pepper together in a bowl until the oil emulsifies into the dressing; pour over the salad.
