Method

Preparation Steps

Cook the Quinoa

Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a pot, combine 1 cup of quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

Prepare the Vegetables

While the quinoa is cooking, chop the cucumber and avocado into bite-sized pieces. If using frozen edamame, cook according to package instructions and drain.

Combine Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, baby kale, cucumber, edamame, and avocado.

Add Dressing

Drizzle the truffle ranch dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all the ingredients.

Top with Almonds

Sprinkle the chopped almonds on top of the salad for added crunch.

Serve

Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
