Ingredients


2/3 cup Quinoa, uncooked
1 1/3 cup Water
1 bunch Kale (torn into bite-sized pieces)
1/2 avocado(s) Avocado (pitted, peeled, diced)
1/2 cup Cucumber (chopped)
1/3 cup chopped Red bell pepper
0.12 small Red onion (chopped)
1 tbsp Feta cheese
1/4 cup Extra virgin olive oil (for dressing)
1 1/2 tbsp Dijon mustard (for dressing)

Instructions


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.

Enjoy!
