Directions
Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan. Add quinoa, cover, and reduce heat to simmer for 15 minutes until water is absorbed. Let it cool.
In a large salad bowl, combine sliced kale, diced avocado, halved tomatoes, diced red onion, chopped almonds, cranberries, and blue cheese crumbles.
To prepare the dressing, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
Add the cooled quinoa to the salad mixture.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well until evenly coated.
Allow the salad to sit for about 15 minutes before serving. This allows the kale to soften and absorb the vinaigrette. Serve and enjoy!
