Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large bunch curly kale (about 8 cups chopped), stems removed and finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large ripe peaches, sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup cooked and cooled quinoa
  • 1/3 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese (or vegan alternative)
  • 1/3 cup sliced almonds, lightly toasted
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Place chopped kale in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle salt over it. Massage the kale for about 2–3 minutes until it becomes tender and darker in color.
  2. In a small bowl or jar, combine olive oil, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Whisk together or shake until well emulsified.
  3. Add the cooked quinoa to the massaged kale along with half of the dressing. Toss well to ensure everything is mixed evenly.
  4. Gently fold in sliced peaches, blueberries, red onion, and mint leaves into the quinoa-kale mixture until they are incorporated without smashing the fruit.
  5. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese and lightly toasted almonds on top of your salad for added texture and flavor.
  6. Drizzle any remaining dressing just before serving. For an eye-catching finish, garnish with extra fruit slices, mint leaves, and feta cheese.
