Salad Ingredients

Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Quinoa

    In a medium pot, combine 1 cup of rinsed quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce 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.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Kale

    Wash the black kale thoroughly and remove the tough stems. Chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces and place in a large salad bowl.

  3. 3

    Combine the Ingredients

    Once the quinoa has cooled, add it to the bowl with the chopped kale. Then add the dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds, and crumbled goat cheese.

  4. 4

    Toss the Salad

    Gently toss all the ingredients together until evenly mixed. Ensure that the quinoa and goat cheese are evenly distributed throughout the salad.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Drizzle the honey-lemon vinaigrette over the salad to taste and toss lightly again if desired. Serve immediately.
