Ingredients | Kale Salad Bag Mix

1 cup olive oil

⅓ cup fresh lemon juice

1 shallot, diced

1 ½ tablespoons Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon honey

1 pinch kosher salt

2 cups water

1 cube chicken bouillon

1 cup quinoa

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 red onion, minced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 bunch fresh kale, chopped

1 cup pine nuts

1 avocado - peeled, pitted, and diced

salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Blend 1 cup olive oil, lemon juice, shallot, Dijon mustard, honey, and kosher salt together in a blender until dressing is smooth and creamy.

Bring water and chicken bouillon to a boil in a saucepan; add quinoa, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Fluff quinoa with a fork and transfer to a large bowl.

Heat remaining olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat; saute onion and garlic in hot oil until golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir kale into onion mixture; saute until kale is tender, 5 to 10 minutes.

Stir kale mixture into quinoa. Pour dressing over the top and add pine nuts and avocado; toss to coat. Serve warm or cold.
