Salad

1 ⅓ cups water

⅔ cup quinoa

1 bunch kale, torn into bite-sized pieces

½ avocado, peeled, pitted, and diced

½ cup chopped cucumber

⅓ cup chopped red bell pepper

2 tablespoons chopped red onion

1 tablespoon crumbled feta cheese

Dressing

¼ cup olive oil

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 ½ tablespoons Dijon mustard

¾ teaspoon sea salt

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Bring 1 1/3 cups water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa tender and water absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Place a steamer basket into a saucepan with 1 inch water; bring water to a boil. Add kale, cover, and steam until hot, about 45 seconds; transfer to a large plate. Top kale with quinoa, avocado, cucumber, bell pepper, red onion, and feta cheese.

Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, sea salt, and black pepper together in a bowl until emulsified; pour over salad.
