Here's a recipe that's been a hit in my house. Super simple!

Ingredients: - 2 cups cooked quinoa - Bunch of kale, torn into bite-sized pieces - 1 avocado, cubed - 1/4 cup chopped almonds - 1/4 cup dried cranberries - Salt and pepper to taste

Lemon-Tahini Dressing: - 1/4 cup tahini - Juice of 1 lemon - 2 tbsp olive oil - 2 tbsp water - 1 clove garlic, minced - Salt to taste

Just mix all salad ingredients, whisk the dressing together, and toss it up! Healthy and DELISH.

Digging the superfood angle with quinoa and kale—big ups! Ever experimented with sprouted grains? They’re supposed to be even better for you. Been on a sprouted brown rice kick here, might sub that in for quinoa next time I give this a go.

Yasss tahini dressing! I could practically drink that stuff, it’s so good. Pro tip for extra creamy dressing: blend it up in a small food processor or with one of those stick blenders if you got one. Takes it to the next level of smoothness.

Hmm looks easy enough even for me who hates cooking. Might add some chicken strips for a bit of meat. Ever tried it with some other greens instead of kale?

Love seeing quinoa get some attention! Tip for newbies: Make sure to rinse it thoroughly before cooking to get rid of that bitter saponin coating. It makes all the difference. And for those saying quinoa is boring, it's all about what you mix it with, and this combo sounds delish!

Looks solid! I’m huge into food with bold flavors, so I might zest the lemon into the dressing too for that extra kick. And perhaps a sprinkle of feta cheese couldn’t hurt. What’s your take on adding a bit of heat? Maybe some red pepper flakes?

kale... really?? is it as tough as people say or does the dressing help soften it up a bit? not a big fan but this recipe might just convert me if it's not like chewing on leaves straight from a tree

This salad is my JAM! I make something similar, but I like to throw in some chickpeas for extra protein. Also sometimes swap the almonds for sunflower seeds. Gonna try your lemon-tahini dressing next time, it sounds perfect! 🥗💪
