1
Cook Quinoa
Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
2
Prepare Vegetables
While the quinoa is cooking, chop the kale, slice the cherry tomatoes in half, peel and dice the cucumber, and finely chop the red onion.
3
Mix Salad
In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, kale, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion.
4
Dress the Salad
In a small bowl, whisk together the EVOO, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine.
5
Serve
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
