This salad is delicious and takes minimal prep work. It’s a hit for any occasion. It’s a hearty salad and can be used as a meal or a side. You’ll need about an hour and the following:

4 bunches Lacinato Kale
3 cups cooked quinoa
1 cup cranberries
1/2 cup shelled pistachios
2 boxes of un-chicken or 1 roasted chicken (de boned)
1/2 cup olive oil
1 lemon
2 tbsp minced garlic
1/4 cup rice vinegar
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp dijon mustard

DIRECTIONS

Remove the stocks from the kale and chop finely. Either prepare quinoa or use pre-cooked quinoa. Prepare the dressing by mixing the olive oil, garlic, vinegar, honey, mustard, and 1/2 lemon juice. Add the dressing to the kale while preparing the un-chicken or chicken.

Place the “chicken” in a non stick pan and cook with lemon juice and a little olive oil. When fully cooked add the chicken, quinoa, cranberries and pistachios to the kale. Mix and enjoy!
