Winter Kale And Quinoa Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Heat 1 teaspoon sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add green onions, chili sauce, garlic, and ginger; saute until garlic is golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Add remaining 2 teaspoons sesame oil to the skillet. Add kale and saute until bright green, softened, and lightly charred, 2 to 3 minutes. Add green onion mixture back to the skillet. Add red bell pepper. Mix in cooked quinoa, water chestnuts, soy sauce, and vinegar and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Bring water to a boil in a saucepan. Stir quinoa into the boiling water, reduce heat to medium-low, place cover on the saucepan, and cook until water absorbs into the quinoa, about 12 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and let rest covered for 5 minutes. Remove cover and allow quinoa to cool completely.
• Put kale in a large mixing bowl.
• Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, pepper, and salt together in a bowl until oil emulsifies into the mixture; drizzle over kale. Add cooled quinoa, pecans, currants, and feta cheese to the dressed kale and toss to incorporate.
