The Plant-Based Protein Salad I Eat on Repeat for Weight Loss
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa(white or tri color)
- 2 cups water
- 3 cup kale, cleaned and massaged
- 1 cup cooked beets, chopped
- 1 cup edamame(thawed)
- ½ cup red onion
3-2-1 Dressing
- ¾ cup water
- ½ cup red wine vinegar
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- ¼ cup dijon mustard
- 1 tsp granulate garlic
Instructions
- In a pot bring 2.5 cups of water to a boil. Add in the quinoa, lower to a simmer with the lid on for 10-12 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand for 10 minutes.
- Precook beets unless you are using canned or shelf stable. I cook mine in the instant pot, depending on the size. Peel and chop.
- In the meantime, make the dressing, by mixing all ingredients together. Whisk or shake in mason jar.
- Add 1/2 of the dressing to the quinoa and combine. Allow the quinoa to cool completely.
- Dice the red onion. Rip the kale into bite size pieces and massage them for several minutes. This will make the kale easier to digest and help with any bitter taste.
- In a large bowl add red onion, beets, kale, edamame and quinoa. Toss with more dressing and combine well.
