Directions
Start off by preparing your kale leaves. I've found that massaging the kale with a little bit of olive oil for a few minutes softens the leaves and enhances the taste.
In a large bowl, combine the prepared kale, cooked quinoa, blueberries, pomegranate seeds, avocado slices, edamame, and chopped almonds.
To make the dressing, combine the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey or maple syrup, salt, and pepper in a small jar with a lid. Shake it until well combined. I always taste my dressing first before adding, to make sure the balance of flavors is just right.
Pour the dressing over the salad gradually and toss gently to combine. Be cautious not to over-dress the salad. You want just enough to add flavor, but not so much that it overwhelms the other ingredients.
Top the salad with feta cheese and chia seeds. Remember to leave out the cheese if you're serving this to vegans!
Serve immediately. If you're preparing this ahead, keep the dressing separate and only add it just before serving to maintain freshness and crunch.
