Ingredients
- ½ cup dry quinoa cooked according to package directions
- ½ cup frozen edamame cooked according to package directions
- ½ bunch curly kale about 4 to 5 cups, chopped or torn into bite-sized pieces with thick ribs removed
- ½ cup fresh blueberries
- ½ cup red grapes halved
- ½ cup dried cherries chopped if necessary (dried cranberries may be substituted)
- ⅓ cup feta goat, or parmesan cheese, crumbled or shredded
- ¼ cup sunflower seeds I used unsalted
- ¼ cup walnuts chopped (I used unsalted)
- ¼ cup orange juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 garlic clove finely minced or pressed
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon pepper or to taste
- 1 heaping tablespoon Greek yogurt I used 0% fat, sour cream may be substituted
Instructions
- Cook quinoa according to package directions, likely cooking with 1 cup water to the 1/2 cup dry quinoa. Transfer about half of the cooked quinoa to a very large bowl. I don’t use all the quinoa for the salad and save the rest for another use. I find it too difficult to cook less than 1/2 cup dry quinoa.
- Cook edamame according to package directions. Drain and add to the bowl.
- To the bowl, add the kale, blueberries, grapes, dried cherries, cheese, sunflower seeds, walnuts, and stir to combine; set aside.
- To a glass mason jar with a lid (or similar jar with a lid), add the orange juice, olive oil, garlic, sugar, salt, pepper, seal with lid, and shake vigorously to combine; about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add the Greek yogurt and shake until creamy and incorporated, about 1 minute. Taste and check for seasoning balance, adding more salt, pepper, etc. as necessary. I prefer this dressing to be on the saltier side because it’s going to be coating a large bowl of unseasoned kale, vegetables, and quinoa and you need it to read salty out of the jar to properly flavor the salad.
- Add desired amount of dressing to salad, toss well to combine, and serve immediately. Extra dressing will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 1 week; shake vigorously before using.
