Quinoa Salad

This is a delicious summer salad the vegetables I use can be modified to fit any tastes.  This salad is inspired by a salad in the deli section of Whole Foods, their quinoa salad uses a sesame based dressing and they use different veggies.  But that delicious little number is where the idea of mine came from.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups dry quinoa (this will be prepared via package directions and cooled)

• 1 cup lightly steamed kale chopped

• 2 cups cabbage chopped

• 1 cup scallions diced

• 1 mango diced

• 1/2 to 2/3 cup Annie's Green Garlic Dressing

• pepper to taste

Directions:

Prepare quinoa, drain well and cool at least one hour.  Prep your other ingredients.

Ready to go!

Place quinoa in large mixing bowl and add the mango and vegetables, mix them well before you add the dressing

After all the ingredients are mixed well slowly add the dressing.  I add it in about thirds mix then add the next third.  Let rest for at least a half hour before serving, this will allow the flavors to mingle! 

Yum and done!
