Quinoa, Kale & Tabouli Salad Recipe
Ingredients:
2 cups quinoa, rinsed thoroughly
4 cups vegetable stock or water
1 bunch kale, chiffonade (role leaves and cut into strips)
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 cup olives, chopped
1/4 cup sun dried tomatoes, soaked and chopped
1 small red bell pepper, diced
1 yellow bell pepper, diced
2 scallions, sliced thinly
1/2 cup parsley, chopped
1/4 cup mint, chopped
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup feta cheese, crumbled (use more to taste)
sea salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
1. Place quinoa and 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt in a large sauce pan with water or stock.
2. Bring to boil, then reduce heat and cook, covered for 30 minutes. Quinoa is cooked properly when liquid is
fully absorbed and grain appears light and fluffy.
3. Remove cooked quinoa to a parchment-lined sheet pan and spread out to cool.
4. Meanwhile, prepare Kale: chiffonade finely and then place in a large bowl. Sprinkle with sea salt and massage
vigorously with hands until tender.
5. Combine kale and quinoa and add the rest of the ingredients.
6. In a small bowl, whisk the olive oil and lemon juice together and drizzle over the quinoa mixture, combining
thoroughly.
7. Season with sea salt and pepper to taste. Add more lemon juice and olive oil if necessary.
8. Fold in crumbled feta and serve.
