Ingredients
- 3½ tablespoons lemon juice, (from 1 to 2 lemons)
- 3 tablespoons store-bought mango chutney
- 1½ tablespoons honey
- 1 clove garlic, (minced)
- 1¾ teaspoons curry powder
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 cups chopped kale, (thick stems/ribs removed)
- 2 cups cooked quinoa ((I buy it frozen; see note))
- 1 cup shredded carrots, (from 2 to 3 carrots)
- 1 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper, (from 1 pepper)
- 1 cup thinly sliced celery, (from 1 to 2 celery stalks)
- 1 cup grapes, (halved)
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro ((optional))
- ⅔ cup roasted salted cashews
Steps
-
For the Dressing: In a large mixing bowl, whisk the lemon juice, chutney, honey, garlic, curry powder, salt, and pepper. Gradually add the olive oil, whisking to emulsify.
-
For the Salad: Add the kale, quinoa, carrots, bell pepper, celery, grapes, and cilantro (if using) to the dressing. Toss until the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or until ready to serve (up to 1 day ahead). Right before serving, mix in the cashews. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary, before serving.
