So I epically fail on blogging but hey it's a new year so hopefully this blog will consist of more than 1 post. Ahem. Yes we shall see. Anyways, being 2014 and the start of a new year, I decided that it would be delightful to share this delicious kale and quinoa salad. It's a great recipe for those who made a new year's resolution to eat healthier but also to those who made no resolutions at all, because the salad is good regardless! Seriously. It's delicious, light, and refreshing.
What's even better, you can alter the recipe anyway you like based on your own taste preferences and the salad keeps well so you can save it and eat it the day after!
What's in the salad
Ingredients:
1 quarter thinly sliced white onions (or red)
1/2 cup of diced bell pepper (red and yellow)
1/2 cup of cooked edamame
cooked quinoa-1 cup of uncooked quinoa (cook according to package description, normally 1:2 ratio) (1 cup uncooked quinoa: 2 cups water)
1 cup of raw chopped kale with stems removed
handful of chopped cilantro
Dressing:
Fresh lemon juice
Olive oil (3:1 ratio, 3 parts olive oil: 1 part lemon juice)
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Prepare all the ingredients and combine in the bowl. Make the dressing in a separate bowl. Pour the dressing over the mixed ingredients. Mix well and season to taste. Let the salad marinate in the fridge and serve when cold (roughly an hour or so).
And voila! There you have it as simple as it can get but delicious and satisfying.
Hope you guys can try out this recipe or let me know if you have a different take on quinoa!
Until next time.
With love,
Lorraine
