  • 8 cups chopped kale washed
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoon salt

  1. Cook quinoa according to package instructions.
  2. While quinoa is cooking, heat oil in a skillet and cook chicken breasts for about couple of minutes on each side. Slice each chicken breast.
  3. Mix kale, olive oil, and salt in a large bowl. Massage kale with your hands for a couple of minutes, until kale leaves are tender. (The kale will turn a brighter green color.)

  5. Toss salad ingredients and serve on plates. Top with sliced chicken breasts, sliced almonds, and optional crumbled feta cheese.
