1
Cook Quinoa
Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water. In a saucepan, combine quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and let it cool.

Prepare Salad Ingredients
While the quinoa is cooling, wash and chop the kale into bite-sized pieces. Halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the avocado, and thinly slice the red onion. Roughly chop the almonds.
3
Make Dressing
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of honey, 3 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4
Combine Salad
In a large bowl, combine the kale, cooled quinoa, cherry tomatoes, avocado, red onion, and almonds. Drizzle with the honey-balsamic dressing and toss gently to combine.

Serve
Serve immediately as a refreshing salad or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving.
