Kale & Quinoa Salad

I love making this salad to have on hand for weekday lunches or a healthy snack! This dish is delicious as meal on its own or use it as a side dish with your favorite protein.

You can also make this a day before serving!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup Quinoa

• Chopped Kale

• 1 Bell Pepper,(any color)

• 8-16 oz Cherry Tomatoes

• 1/2 Small Red Onion

• Olives

• Banana Peppers (optional)

• 4-8oz Feta Cheese

• Kara’s Greek Mariande

• Sliced Almonds or Avocado for topping (optional)

Recipe:

• Cook 1 cup quinoa per package instructions

• Add chopped kale to a large bowl and massage the kale… yes, I said masssage! This helps break down the fibers so it isn’t as tough to eat. You could also use spinach as a substitute.

• Chop up all veggies to similar size and add to salad bowl

• Add cooked and cooled quinoa to salad bowl

• Drizzle over Kara’s Greek Marinade and toss everything together

• Top with toasted almonds, avocado or your favorite protein!
