How to Prepare Watermelon Quinoa Kale Salad [Vegan]

  1. First, prepare the quinoa according to package instructions.
  2. While the quinoa is cooking, wash and chop the fruit and vegetables and set them aside.
  3. Add torn kale to a large bowl and drizzle a tiny bit of avocado oil and a squeeze of lemon. Massage the kale with your hands to soften the kale. Season with Himalayan sea salt and black pepper and allow to sit for 5-10 minutes to break down to leaves.
  4. While the kale is marinating, dice the watermelon into 1″ cubes, slice the cucumber finely with a mandoline slicer, dice the tomato and set it aside for assembly.
  5. To assemble the salad, divide the massaged kale between bowls and toss with cooked quinoa, cucumber, optional herbed nut cheese, watermelon, sunflower seeds, and fresh mint.
  6. Top with sunflower seeds and serve immediately.
  7. Store leftovers separately in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
