Tips

It's easy to alter this recipe - add whatever veggies you want! You can throw in broccoli, or beans, or spinach or whatever you have in the fridge! I also sometimes substitute sunflower seeds or walnuts for the pumpkin seeds. Tastes great with grilled chicken.


Directions

Mix together cooked quinoa, kale, parsley, cucumber, green pepper, shallots, tomato, pumpkin seeds, apples and hot pepper.
Mix dressing by dissolving the honey into the lemon juice. Grate in fresh ginger and add olive oil. Whisk until emulsified and pour over salad.
Let sit for at least one hour, better if left longer!
