Istruzioni

Prepare the quinoa. Add the quinoa and 1 ⅓ cups water to a saucepan and bring to a boil. Turn the heat to low and cover. Simmer for 15-18 minutes until all of the water has been absorbed and the quinoa is cooked.

Remove the quinoa from the heat and transfer to a plate or small pan to cool. Set aside.

Prepare the dressing. Add the lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, honey, garlic, and Greek yogurt to a high-speed blender. Blend on high until all the ingredients are combined and the garlic has minced.

Add the salt, cilantro, parsley, dill, green onion, ginger, and avocado to the blender and pulse the ingredients until the dressing is smooth. Set aside.

Add the raw kale to a large salad bowl. Add the olive oil and massage the oil into the kale with your hands for 2-3 minutes. The kale will soften and reduce by about half.

Add the peas, cucumbers, mint, green onions, pistachios, salt, and cooled quinoa to the kale and toss. Add the dressing and toss again.

Top the salad with feta and black pepper. Enjoy immediately or store in the refrigerator.
