Quinoa-Kale Salad with Fresh Apricots

Apricots are among those first stone fruits to ripen in summer time and they add a burst of hot sweetness (together side vitamins and fiber A and C) with this particular hearty green salad. Quinoa and beans offer a reach of fat-soluble carbohydrates and recovery-friendly protein.

Substances
1 cup quinoa
2 cups water
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp ground cumin
1 1/2   tbsp course-grain Dijon mustard
1/3 cup Basic low fat kefir

Pinch salt
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 cups finely chopped, cleaned kale
1 can (15 to 16 ounces) kidney beans, rinsed and drained

1/4 red onion, coarsely chopped

Guidelines
Heat a large saucepan over moderate heat. Insert quinoa and toast until aromatic and slightly darker in color, about 2 minutes. Minimize heat to medium-low, and then proceed to simmer until water has been absorbed and quinoa is cooked, approximately 20 minutes. Awesome quinoa to exfoliate. Make the dressing by whisking the garlic, cumin, mustard, kefir, pepper, and salt. Gradually and gradually whisk in oil. Place remaining ingredients–lettuce, kidney beans, apricots, onion, and cilantro–in a huge bowl. Insert quinoa along with the dressing table. Toss to coat and serve. Makes 4 portions.
