Ingredients

6 servings
  • 1 2/3 cups water
  • 1 cup quinoa (tricolor or red, rinsed and drained)
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup coarsely chopped kale (packed)
  • 1/3 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/3 cup coarsely chopped fresh spearmint leaves
  • 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 large lemon (juiced)

Steps

  1. Bring the water and salt to a boil in a saucepan over high heat.

  2. Add quinoa, reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, about 18 to 20 minutes.

  3. Fluff quinoa with a fork and set aside to cool.

  4. Once cooled, in a large bowl combine the kale, dried cranberries, mint, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest and scallion.

  5. Refrigerate until ready to eat. Serve chilled.
