03 Method

Step 1

Add quinoa and water to a medium pot and place over high heat; bring to a boil, then cover, reduce heat to low and cook for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, remove from heat, fluff quinoa with a fork and transfer quinoa to a large bowl to cool down.
Step 2

To make the dressing: place olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, dijon, honey, basil, and salt and pepper in a blender. Pulse for 10-15 seconds; set aside. You can also whisk in a small bowl if you don't have a blender.
Step 3

In a large bowl add your kale and pour half of the dressing over. Use clean hands to massage the kale for about 3 minutes or until it breaks down. Next add in quinoa, edamame, diced onion, and remaining lemon vinaigrette; toss so that the salad is fully coated.
Step 4

Before serving, toss salad again and add tomatoes, mango, and avocado. Sprinkle toasted sliced almonds over the top.
