Method

Prepare Quinoa

  1. 1

    Cook the Quinoa

    Rinse the white quinoa under cold water in a fine mesh strainer. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of rinsed quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa is fluffy and the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it cool.

Prepare Salad Base

    Combine Kale and Tomatoes

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped kale and balsamic tomatoes. Toss gently to mix.

  2. 3

    Add Quinoa

    Once the quinoa has cooled, add it to the bowl with the kale and tomatoes. Toss all ingredients together until evenly distributed.

Make Dressing

    Mix Dressing Ingredients

    In a small bowl, whisk together the truffle honey, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste until well combined.

Assemble Salad

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Drizzle the dressing over the salad mixture in the large bowl. Toss gently to coat the kale, quinoa, and tomatoes evenly with the dressing.

    Top the salad with crumbled goat cheese, sunflower kernels, and hemp seeds. Give it a light toss to incorporate the toppings.
