RECIPES

Makes: 2 servings
Preparation: 15mns
Total Time: 15mns

Benefits:
Kale is one of the healthiest vegetables around. This warm salad is packed with protein and healthy fat, so it will provide long-lasting energy throughout the day. If you prepare your quinoa ahead of time (I keep a big batch handy in the fridge) it takes just five minutes to put together!

Ingredients:
4 cups of kale, removed from stem and rinsed
2 tsp coconut oil
1 cup of cooked quinoa (see cooking directions below)
1 Tbs tahini
1 Tbs tamari (or soy sauce if you're not gluten-free)**
Juice of half a lemon
1 avocado, sliced
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: 1 tsp agave (some people like to add a tiny bit of sweetness)**
**Please omit these two ingredients if you're detoxing

Directions
  1. To prepare the dressing, mix together tahini, tamari (or Soya), lemon juice and agave (if using) in a small bowl or cup.
  2. Heat coconut oil in a pan on the stove. Add kale and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes, until kale begins to wilt. Add quinoa and stir until warm.
  3. Mix in dressing, then transfer to plates. Top with avocado, sprinkle with salt and pepper and enjoy!

Quinoa can simply be cooked by rinsing and then boiling for 10/15mns until the grain opens up. If you want to try something new, here is another way to prepare delicious, fluffy quinoa:
  1. Rinse 1 cup of dry quinoa with a fine-mesh strainer. Heat a drop of coconut oil in saucepan. Add quinoa to saucepan and toast for a minute or two. (This adds a slightly nutty flavor.)
  2. Add two cups of vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Simmer for 15 minutes with the lid on, then turn heat off and let quinoa sit covered for 5 to 10 minutes. Serve right away or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

It has been a while since I made a salad and I realized that I kind of missing the craft. I’ve had enough of the traditional salads, that’s why I am out to explore something new. Warm kale and Quinoa salad looks perfect and I don’t mind if the salad is more complicated to prepare than the usual ones. What’s important is the fact that I will come up with a new salad that could be possibly be a favorite of everyone in the family!
