I have been trying to eat a salad everyday for lunch. For me salads can get boring really fast so I try and keep a couple different salads in rotation. My Strawberry Spinach Salad and Thai Chicken Salad are just two of my favorites. Just like this Chopped Kale Quiona salad they are loaded with tons of flavor, crunch and packed with nutrients.

This salad is made with chopped kale, precooked quinoa, mushrooms and avocado. I kept the salad light and fresh and only added olive oil and lemon juice to dress the salad. I like to eat this salad as is or with a drizzle of my favorite Lemon Herb Dressing.

This recipe takes less than 10 minutes to make thanks to the pre-cooked quiona. The recipe serves one but can easily be doubled or tripled. I like to make up large batches of this salad and toss with olive oil and lemon juice just before serving.
