Black Quinoa & Kale Salad


So, a couple of days ago we wrote about our box of organic treats. We tried a salad recipe that came along but switched the fried leek for sprouts, since we both fancy sprouts.
The thing that makes this salad dance is the mustard and lemon dressing that you mix into the quinoa. It tastes really amazing, a bit like christmas but the lemon makes it so fresh, and we had to make it over and over again, because we couldn’t stop eating it. Really.
So try this. As a christmas recipe or right away!

Black Quinoa & Kale Salad
Serves 4

1 1/2 cup black quinoa (cooked)

Dressing:

4 tbsp olive oil
½ organic lemon (peal and juice)
2 tbsp hot english mustard
salt and pepper

4 big leafs of Kale (Borecole)
2 red apples
1 handful sprouts
100 g goat feta cheese

Cook the quinoa. Mix the ingredients for the dressing in a high glass or a small bowl. Let the quinoa cool of for a while and add the dressing.
Rinse the cabbage and chop it. Cut the apples in small cubes. Mix all the ingredients with the quinoa and top it with the goat cheese.

      Thanks BernieR, and have a nice day to you too!

      Milja, this Kale & Quinoa salad works perfect on the vegetarian christmas table, try also our red cabbage salad. We will definitely publish some more vegetarian christmas recipes soon. A vegetarian steak might be a bit difficult, I would consider a warm saffron couscous salad, a veggie loaf, a vegetable pie or a winter risotto. But keep coming back and we’ll have some more christmas recipes for you.
      Thanks for reading!
