Quinoa & Kale Power Bowl

Ingredients

  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 bunch kale, stems removed and leaves chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup cooked chickpeas
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 orange, juiced
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Rinse the quinoa under cold water until the water runs clear to remove any bitterness.
  2. Step 2: Combine the quinoa, water, and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is fluffy.
  3. Step 3: While the quinoa is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped kale and sauté until wilted, about 5 minutes.
  4. Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lemon juice, olive oil, honey, and Dijon mustard. Season with salt and pepper to taste to make the dressing.
  5. Step 5: In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, sautéed kale, cherry tomatoes, chickpeas, and crumbled feta cheese.
  6. Step 6: Drizzle the citrusy dressing over the quinoa mixture and toss gently to combine all the ingredients.
  7. Step 7: Top the power bowl with sliced almonds and avocado just before serving to maintain their texture.
  8. Step 8: Serve the quinoa and kale power bowl warm or at room temperature, adjusting seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
