Quinoa & Kale Salad - Hummusapien.pdfSaved to Dropbox Apr 5, 2019 at 10C25 PMQ U I N OA & K A L E S A L A D20 OCTOBER, 2014 — 67 COMMENTSJump to Recipe · Print RecipeIf you’re gonna eat kale, you should probablyeat it in this sensationally superb salad.

This salad is da bomb because it’s looksall kaley but doesn’t taste all kaley. Becauseit sounds like rabbit food but doesn’t tastelike rabbit food. I mean holy moly .thisensalada is a downright dream boat. A realtreat for the taste buds. The toasty almonds,the sweet golden raisins (which may I add arefar superior to regular raisins), the simplelemony dressing I can’t even.

MY LATEST VIDEOSI think this would be over the top fab withavocado and some feta, but I wanted to keepit vegan-friendly for Alchemy customerssince some of our other salads are full o’ feta.Avocado browning in a kale salad kind ofruins the whole yumtastic image of thishealthy salad, but feel free to add it in athome if you’re eating it the same day!Speaking of Alchemy, be sure to head on overto The Micro Harvest for a little Q & Aaction!

There’s definitely some plant-based proteinin this bad boy from the quinoa, but I liketopping it with a Luna burger (or whateverveggie burger you prefer) when I’m feelinghangry pants. I’ve been loving having this onhand in the fridge for lunches since it getseven better over time as the dressingmarinates. WIN.

I love helping people love kale. Kale is likeexercise. You know it’s super good for youbut you don’t want to do it. Well consider meyour kale personal trainer. It’s my mission tomake you like kale. To make you LURVE kale.Mission accomplished, you kale lovin’ fools!QUINOA & KALE

Yes, the dressingcan be made ahead of timeand yes I’d refrigerate it!REPLY

Ruth Smith says1 January, 2015 at 1:23 pmI had everything on hand to makethis salad (except I used driedcranberries instead of raisins), soit called to me when your NewYear’s post popped up thismorning. This is in the fridgechillin for lunch! It looks soyummy. Cannot wait to taste.REPLYAlexis says5 January, 2015 at 8:15 pmFabulous! I bet it would begreat with cranberries. Ihope you liked it!REPLY

Santiv says30 January, 2015 at 1:44 pmThis looks super delicious! Whatdo you think about replacing thealmonds with peanuts and thelemon juice with either lime ororange juice? I am wondering ifthis would still taste good. REPLYAlexis says1 February, 2015 at 9:26 pmI don’t think orange juicewould be the best sub justbecause lemon juice is moreacidic. I think almonds wouldbe tastier but if you onlyhave peanuts I think thatshould be fine :)REPLY

Jackie says25 March, 2015 at 9:43 amwhat’s the calories for one sevingREPLYAlexis says26 March, 2015 at 9:41 amI don’t calculate nutritioninfo, sorry!REPLYDarla says30 March, 2015 at 6:26 pmWanted to let you know about ayummy substitution I made here.Thought I had 2 lemons, only had

1. Used 1 lemon and 1 orange.Yum! Yum! And yum! Also usedcranberries. (I live with a raisinhater). This salad is sooooo good,thanks so much for youramazingly inspiring recipes.REPLYAlexis says31 March, 2015 at 11:18 amThat sounds amazing! I knowthere are lots of raisin hatersout there, so I’m glad it wasyummy with another driedfruit!REPLYKelley Hays says7 May, 2015 at 1:46 pmGirl, I just made a nice big batchof this for the first time and I

LOVE it! My hubby even loved itand asked for more (he’s normallynot a healthy food lover at all). I’dnever massaged kale before, butdid it, and it turned out SO good.TY! REPLYCheryl Emerson says20 May, 2015 at 8:08 pmI see the recipe has lemon . theperfect foil for the ‘browning’ ofany added avocado. Maybe justsprinkle a little extra lemon juiceon the avocado to keep it frombrowning. REPLY

Maria says25 May, 2015 at 7:03 pmHi Alexis,I just found your blog and I loveyour recipes! I’ve been collectingsalad recipes from around theweb for a couple years and justrecently decided to put them upon a blog to better organize andshare them. I included this recipeand would like to include more,but want to make sure it’s ok.Here’s the d-recipe-withlemon-dressing/Let me know.Thanks!Maria REPLY

Alexis says26 May, 2015 at 7:08 amHi Maria! I’m so glad you’reenjoying the recipes! I wouldprefer if you posted the linkto the recipe rather thanwriting out the recipe.Thanks!REPLYAngela says8 July, 2015 at 4:32 pmI recently came across thiswebsite, and decided to make thisKale and Quinoa Salad, since Ihave so much curly kale growingin my garden.Well, I’ve made it twice in thepast 3 days! The 2nd time I madeit, I added a ton more kale thanthe recipe asked for, and addedmore roasted almonds (I use the

50% less salt from Trader Joe’s).Delicious!!!!I doubled the recipe of thedressing the 1st time I made this,and still haven’t used it all.Also, since I’m too lazy tomassage the kale, I simply add thequinoa to the plain kale (no otherstuff), while the quinoa is stillpretty warm. This seems to wiltthe kale and makes it much moreenjoyable and easier to eat. REPLYAlex @ get big, go to work says26 July, 2015 at 6:45 pmYum!! I was looking for some newrecipes while meal planning thisweek, and made this recipe fordinner tonight. It is so delicious.And was so easy to make.
