1
Prepare 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 to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
2
Prepare Kale
Wash and chop the kale into bite-sized pieces. Massage the kale with a pinch of salt for 1-2 minutes until it becomes tender.
3
Make Cider-Honey Vinaigrette
In a small bowl, whisk together apple cider vinegar, honey, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
4
Grill Salmon
Preheat the grill to medium-high. Brush the salmon fillets with olive oil and lemon juice, seasoning with salt and black pepper. Place salmon on the grill and cook for about 4-6 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flaky.
5
Assemble Salad
In a large bowl, combine the massaged kale, cooked quinoa, chopped gala apple, sunflower seeds, diced white cheddar, chopped red onion, and golden raisins. Drizzle with cider-honey vinaigrette and toss to combine.
6
Serve
Plate the salad and top with grilled salmon fillets. Enjoy your Kale & Quinoa with Grilled Salmon!
