Serves: 6
INGREDIENTS:
  • 8 cups greens (I used half spinach and half arugula)
  • 1½ cup uncooked quinoa
  • ½ cup shelled pumpkin seeds (a.k.a. pepitas)
  • ¼ cup sesame seeds
  • ¼ cup sunflower seeds
  • ¼ cup almonds, sliced or chopped
  • Citrus dressing
  • 2 tablespoons cold-pressed olive oil
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • Juice of ½ lime
  • 1 tablespoon raw apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon raw honey or maple syrup
  • 1 garlic clove
DIRECTIONS:
  1. Place the quinoa in a large pot with 3 cups of water and bring to a boil over high heat then reduce the heat to low, cover with a tight fitting lid and leave to cook for 20 minutes. Mix the salad dressing ingredients together and set aside. Once the quinoa is cooked toss it all in a large bowl until combined. The greens will wilt slightly, to keep them crisp let the quinoa cool before adding it in.
