Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 1 cup quinoa
- 5 cups kale
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1 cup mandarin orange segments (from a 15 ounce can)
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds (toasted)
- 1/2 cup feta cheese (crumbled)
- zest of one orange
- 2 large cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dijon mustard
- 1 1/2 teaspoons whole grain mustard
- 2 tablespoons orange juice (from the zested orange
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
Instruction
- Prepare the quinoa as instructed on the package. When quinoa has absorbed the water, stir in the dried cranberries and remove from heat. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Remove the lid and cool to room temperature.
- Meanwhile, rinse and dry the kale. (I used my salad spinner). Remove the tough stems and massage the kale with your hands to break down the fibers a little. Bunch the kale into a tight ball with one hand and slice the kale very thinly with a sharp knife. Set aside.
- Drain the can of mandarin oranges and pat dry. Set aside.
