15 mins prepServes 4
This salad has been a go-to for lunch! The homemade maple lemon vinaigrette takes this salad to the next level. Optional additions include grilled chicken and avocado for extra protein and healthy fats.
1. Cook quinoa according to instructions on package, then let it cool.
2. Add the cooled quinoa, kale, Brussels sprouts, nuts, seeds, and dried fruit to a large bowl.
3. Toss the salad ingredients together.
4. In a separate bowl, combine all dressing ingredients (lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, red pepper flakes, maple syrup, salt). Stir well with a whisk (or use a small blender).
5. Add the dressing to the salad and mix well, massaging the dressing into the kale.
6. If meal prepping, keep the salad and dressing separate and store in the refrigerator. The salad lasts about 5 days, and the dressing lasts up to one week.
