Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook Quinoa

    Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa is fluffy and water is absorbed. Set aside to cool.

  2. 2

    Roast Sweet Potatoes

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into bite-sized cubes. Toss with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized.

  3. 3

    Grill Kale

    Remove the stems from the kale and tear the leaves into large pieces. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill on medium heat for about 3-5 minutes, turning until the kale is slightly charred and wilted. Remove from grill and set aside.

  4. 4

    Prepare Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon of honey, and 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Slice Apples

    Core and slice the apple into thin wedges. Set aside.

  6. 6

    Toast Pecans

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the pecans for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant. Remove from heat.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, grilled kale, roasted sweet potatoes, sliced apples, and toasted pecans.

  2. 8

    Dress the Bowl

    Drizzle the prepared vinaigrette over the bowl and toss gently to combine all ingredients evenly.

  3. 9
