Ingredients | Sweet Kale Salad Bag

2 cups water

1 cup quinoa

10 leaves kale, cut into small pieces

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 large garlic clove, minced

1 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper

½ teaspoon ground sea salt

1 cup pecans

1 cup currants

¾ cup crumbled feta cheese

Directions

Bring water to a boil in a saucepan. Stir quinoa into the boiling water, reduce heat to medium-low, place cover on the saucepan, and cook until water absorbs into the quinoa, about 12 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and let rest covered for 5 minutes. Remove cover and allow quinoa to cool completely.

Put kale in a large mixing bowl.

Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, pepper, and salt together in a bowl until oil emulsifies into the mixture; drizzle over kale. Add cooled quinoa, pecans, currants, and feta cheese to the dressed kale and toss to incorporate.
