Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1/2 cup white quinoa (rinsed well with cold water)
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1 bunch curly kale, chopped small (stems and ribs removed)
  • 1 avocado (peel and pit removed)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 clementine mandarin oranges (segmented)
  • 1/2 cup slivered raw almonds

Instruction

  • Add the quinoa and water to a pot on the stove and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer 12 to 15 minutes until the quinoa is cooked through and the water is absorbed. Take off heat, fluff with a fork and let cool. 
  • Meanwhile, add the kale, avocado, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to a mixing bowl. With clean hands, "massage" the the kale making sure the avocado is completely mashed into the kale. Massage for several minutes to allow the ingredients to soften. Set aside.
  • Once the quinoa is mostly cool, add it to the kale along with the orange segments and almonds and mix well.
  • Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to eat.
