This Kale Quinoa Salad with Orange Miso Dressing is crazy delicious and so easy to make. An amazing nutrition powerhouse salad of kale, quinoa, mandarin oranges, and so much more!
Cook quinoa according to package directions. This usually takes about 15 minutes.
While the quinoa is cooking, wash and strip kale. Then tear into bite-sized pieces and place in a very large bowl.
Add the 1/2 cup orange juice and 1/2 tsp salt to the bowl with kale and begin to massage for 2-3 minutes.
Once the kale is tender, add other salad ingredients and finished dressing to the large bowl and stir thoroughly, making sure the dressing is mixed throughout. Serve.
Orange Miso Dressing Instructions
Place all dressing ingredients in a medium bowl and whisk together well. Note: I really like to use the jar minced garlic in this recipe because it is milder. Fresh works well too.
