2 servings

Ingredients

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tbs red wine vinegar
1 small clove garlic, minced
1 1/2 tsp honey
1/4 tsp kosher salt, plus more as needed
Fresh pepper
1 1/2 cups cooked quinoa, cooled
3 cups packed chopped kale
1/2 cup Sunsweet Pitted Prunes, chopped
1 cup chopped apples
1/2 cup roasted salted pepitas

Directions

Begin by preparing the vinaigrette. Add the olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, honey, salt, and a few cracks of fresh pepper to a jar, seal it, and shake vigorously until combined. Taste, and add additional honey or salt as needed. 

 

Add the kale to a large bowl and drizzle with two to three teaspoons of the dressing. Gently massage the dressing into the kale until it has softened a bit. To the same bowl, add the quinoa, apples, pepitas, and prunes. Drizzle the dressing over the top and toss to combine. Taste and add a few pinches of salt if needed.

 

Divide between two bowls for a meal or serve as a smaller side for 4.
