Preparation Steps

Cook Quinoa

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

Prepare Kale

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Toss chopped kale with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes until crispy.

Combine Salad Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine cooked quinoa, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, crumbled feta, and sliced grilled chicken.

Dress the Salad

In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle over the salad and toss to combine.

Top with Crispy Kale

Add the crispy kale on top of the salad before serving.
