Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 cups low sodium vegetable broth
  • 2 cups chickpeas
  • 4 cups kale
  • 2 cups red cabbage
  • 1 1/2 cups celery
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 red onion
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup slivered almonds
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • Salt & black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Rinse quinoa under cold water using a fine mesh strainer. Combine with vegetable broth in a saucepan, bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 12–15 minutes until liquid is absorbed.
  2. Meanwhile, chop the kale, red cabbage, carrots, and red onion into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large bowl.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, dijon mustard, maple syrup, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.
  4. Once quinoa has cooled slightly, add it to the large bowl with vegetables along with chickpeas and dried cranberries. Drizzle the dressing over everything and toss gently to combine.
