Kale Salad With Avocado, Pecans, Quinoa and Pomegranate Arils
I made this healthy salad for dinner the other night and had it again for lunch today. It is delicious and easy to make. I buy the kale washed and bagged at Trader Joe’s. I also buy the crumbled goat cheese, chopped pecans and pomegranate arils there as well.
Ingredients:
4 cups chopped kale
1 avocado, diced
1/2 cup cooked quinoa
1/2 cup pomegranate arils
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese
For Dressing:
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed Meyer lemon juice
Zest of 1 Meyer lemon
1 tablespoon sugar-I omitted the sugar
- To make the vinaigrette, whisk together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, lemon zest and sugar in a small bowl; set aside.
- To assemble the salad, place kale in a large bowl; top with avocado, quinoa, pomegranate arils, pecans and goat cheese. Pour the dressing on top of the salad and gently toss to combine.
- Serve immediately.
