KALE AND QUINOA SALAD

Updated: Aug 1

Ever crave a really good salad that isn't just about being healthy? I’m talking about a real salad—one that fills you up, makes you feel good, and maybe even makes your skin glow a little.

My Kale and Quinoa salad is all about balance. The kale brings the crunch and the green goodness (hello, fiber and vitamins!), while the quinoa adds a nutty bite and some plant-based protein to keep you full. Toss in some colorful extras—think cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, maybe even a handful of toasted almonds—and you’ve got yourself a bowl of edible sunshine.

And for the dressing, we’re going zesty lemon, a touch of maple syrup for sweetness, olive oil, and a spoonful of Dijon mustard. Simple but so flavorful.

Both the salad and dressing can be easily prepped in advance and assembled when ready to eat... It's that easy.


For more salad options, try my Tofu Salad, Spicy Shrimp Salad, or Gluten-Free Tabbouleh.


Enjoy! ❤️

About me

Hey I'm Jaz! I'm a wife, mother, IT Professional and among the many things I enjoy pursuing, cooking for my family tops the list. There's a sense of that 'ahhhh' that comes with knowing you have fed your loved one's belly.

 

As a busy professional, I need simple, easy and 'good for you' recipes to put on the dinner table on a weeknight, and indulge in something more decadent over a relaxing weekend. My recipes are reflective of just that. All recipes are gluten-free, almost entirely dairy-free, refined sugar free and always whole food based. 

Take a peek at the recipes. I hope you find something of interest that sends you cooking! 

 

Enjoy!
