Ingredients
- 1 Cup Uncooked Quinoa
- 2 Cups Water or Broth
- 2 Cups Kale washed thoroughly
- 2 tablespoon Pumpkin Seeds
Orange Ginger Dressing
- 1 Orange zested and juiced
- 1 inch Ginger minced
- 2 Cloves Garlic minced
- 2 tablespoon Coconut Aminos
- 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil Extra Virgin
- 1 tablespoon Rice Wine Vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper
Instructions
- Rinse the quinoa and then cook in vegetable broth (for more flavor) or water. I do 1 cup quinoa to 2 cups water or broth (1:2, just like rice) and add a pinch of salt. Bring to boil and then simmer for 20-minutes. Turn off heat.
- Peel the ginger using a spoon by flicking the skin off. Mince the ginger and garlic. Zest the orange into a mason jar and juice the orange.
- Massage the kale with 1 teaspoon of EVOO until it becomes soft.
- Add all of the orange ginger dressing ingredients together into a mason jar and lightly sprinkle salt and pepper. Shake the jar (lid on!) until ingredients are mixed together.
- If you're eating the salad right away, mix all of the salad ingredients together and pour the dressing on top. If you are meal prepping, mix the salad ingredients together and separate into the proper containers. Make sure to keep the dressing to the side until ready to eat.
