Instructions
- Cook Quinoa: Add quinoa and water or broth to a saucepan. Cook according to package instructions. Remove from heat and fluff with fork once finished cooking.
- Prepare brussels sprouts: While the quinoa is cooking, shred the brussels sprouts using the slicing attachment of your food processor, a mandoline or sharp knife (check out the post for details prepare the kale by chopping into small leaves).
- Prepare Kale: Place chopped kale in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Massage oil into kale using fingertips – this slightly wilts the kale and enhances its flavor, just trust me. Add the brussels sprouts into the large bowl with kale; set aside.
- Make dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together all of the dressing ingredients.
- Assemble: Drizzle dressing over the brussels and kale. Add cooled quinoa, crumbled feta and sunflower seeds; toss gently with tongs until well mixed.
- Chill in fridge until ready to serve. Enjoy on its own or with your favorite protein.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 1 week.
