Ingredients

  • 1 bunch kale (stems removed and cut into pieces (about 8-10 stems))
  • 1/2 cup quinoa (rinsed)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup raw or roasted cashews
  • 3/4 cup fresh blueberries
  • 3/4 cup strawberries (hulled and quartered)

Blueberry Apple Cider Vinaigrette

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup oil (canola, vegetable, olive, etc.)

Instructions

  • In a food processor, combine ingredients for blueberry apple cider vinaigrette. Pulse until combined. Store in an air tight container in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  • To cook the quinoa, add quinoa and water to a small pot. Heat over medium high heat until you bring it to a boil. Once it starts boiling, place a lid on top of the pot and bring it down to a simmer. Cook for 15-20 minutes, until the water is evaporated. Fluff quinoa with a fork.
  • To make the salad, combine kale, quinoa, cashews, blueberries, strawberries, chia seeds and avocado together. Drizzle the blueberry vinaigrette over the top and serve immediately.
