Ingredients

4 servings
  • 4 cups finely chopped kale (ribs removed)
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa (about 2/3 cup dry)
  • 3 medium blood oranges, peeled and chopped*
  • 1 avocado, peeled, cored and diced
  • 5 oz blue cheese, crumbled
  • 3/4 cup chopped walnuts*
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 2 Tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 3 Tablespoons fresh blood orange juice*
  • 2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps

  1. Combine all of the salad ingredients into a large bowl. Sometimes I do this with my hands to really mash up that avocado and massage it into the kale leaves.

  2. Whisk all of the dressing ingredients together—or use a food processor. Pour dressing over salad and toss to coat everything evenly. Sometimes I don’t use ALL the dressing—use however much you’d like. Store leftover dressing in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

  3. Serve immediately. Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.
