食材

Base ingredients
- 💧 1 ⅓ cups water
- ⅔ cup quinoa
- 1 bunch kale, torn into bite-sized pieces
- 🥒 ½ cup chopped cucumber
- ⅓ cup chopped red bell pepper
- 🧅 2 tablespoons chopped red onion

步骤

Bring 1 1/3 cups water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and water is absorbed, about 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Place a steamer basket into a saucepan with 1 inch water and bring water to a boil. Add kale, cover, and steam until hot, about 45 seconds. Transfer to a large plate.

Top kale with cooked quinoa, cucumber, bell pepper, red onion, feta cheese, and sliced avocado.

Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, sea salt, and black pepper in a bowl until emulsified. Pour over the salad before serving.
