Ingredients

Salad

  • 1/2 cup quinoa uncooked
  • 8 ounces kale de-stemmed and chopped, about 6 cups
  • 1/2 pound Brussel sprouts thinly sliced, about 3 cups
  • 2 sweet potatoes peeled and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup pecans
  • 4 beets cooked, chopped
  • ¼ cup feta cheese

Tahini Dressing

  • 1/2 cup tahini paste
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • 2 garlic cloves crushed
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup water

Instructions

  • Cook quinoa according to directions on package and cool completely.
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for 30-35 minutes, stirring halfway through. Set aside to cool.
  • While quinoa and sweet potatoes are cooling, whisk together the tahini dressing.
  • Add kale to a salad bowl. Pour dressing over kale and toss until kale is evenly coated.

Notes

Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last about 2-3 days in the fridge. The salad may start to get softer though from the dressing.
Make Ahead Tips: I would highly recommend washing and drying the kale a day or two days in advance of chopping it. This gives the kale time to dry properly and remain dry when you chop it.
Substitutes: For best results, follow the recipe as is. However, feel feel free to make adjustments as you see fit.
