Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Kale leaves
- 2 cups Romaine lettuce
- 1 cup Red cabbage
- 1 large Carrot
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup Cooked quinoa
- 1 cup Chickpeas (cooked or canned, drained and rinsed)
- 1 medium Avocado
- 2 tablespoons Sunflower seeds
- 2 tablespoons Pumpkin seeds
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
Wash and thoroughly dry the kale and romaine lettuce. Tear them into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.
Thinly slice the red cabbage and add it to the bowl.
Peel and julienne the carrot, then thinly slice the cucumber. Add both to the salad bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and toss them into the mix.
Add the cooked quinoa and chickpeas to the salad bowl for a boost of fiber and protein.
Slice the avocado into cubes and carefully fold it into the salad to avoid mashing.
Sprinkle the sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds over the salad for added crunch and nutrients.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey (if using), salt, and black pepper to form the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss all the ingredients together until well-coated.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to an hour before serving for a chilled option.
