Prep Time 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups kale finely shredded (stalks removed)
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 lemon juiced
  • 1 cup quinoa cooked & cooled
  • 1/2 avocado diced
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley

  • 1/4 cup dry roasted almonds chopped
  • sea salt
  • black pepper

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl massage kale with a generous amount of olive oil and lemon juice really well for several minutes and allow to stand for a further 5 minutes (this helps to tenderise the kale).

Nourish 101:

  • Quinoa is a high protein, gluten free seed that is rich in B-vitamins, iron, magnesium, potassium, calcium, vitamin E and a good dose of fatty acids.
  • Avocado is rich in vitamins C, K and E as well as a great source of fibre, folate, magnesium and potassium.
