A nutrient-rich and delicious salad that is packed full of fall flavors.
Ingredients
1 bunch kale
1 1/2 cups red or black grapes, halved
1 apple, any variety, diced
1 pear, any variety, diced
1 cup quinoa, cooked and cooled
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
Dressing
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 small to medium apple, cored and roughly chopped
1/2 cup canola oil
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon green onions, chopped
Instructions
Separate kale leaves from woody stems and finely chop leaves. Spin chopped leaves in a salad spinner to remove excess water, then place them in a large salad bowl.
Add diced apples and pears, along with halved grapes and cooked (and cooled) quinoa.
Put all ingredients for the dressing in a blender and blend on low speed until smooth.
Right before serving, pour dressing over salad and toss well. Top with pumpkin seeds and feta.
