Prepare quinoa according to your package directions, you may prepare more and use it in another dish. If preparing for salad, you’ll need ¼ cup quinoa (rinsed) and cooked in ½ cup of water. Prepare and let cool.

Remove kale from stems, roughly chop, and clean. After cleaning and drying, drizzle with a teaspoon of olive oil and massage gently, set aside.

Combine all your ingredients for your dressing in a jar with a lid. Shake vigorously to combine and create an emulsified dressing.

Combine your cooled quinoa and kale together and toss with ⅓ cup of your dressing.
Plate mixture and top with apples, pomegranate seeds, and almonds. Drizzle additional dressing if desired or serve on the side.
