How To Make Greek Quinoa Salad with Chicken

What you need:

1 cup quinoa

1.2 lbs organic chicken breasts (about 4 pieces)

8 cups chopped kale, washed

1/4 cup olive oil

2 tsp salt

1 long Italian cucumber, peeled and chopped

1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes

2 Tbsp white wine vinegar

1 tsp ground black pepper

sliced almonds

crumbled feta cheese, optional

Instructions:

Cook quinoa according to package instructions.

While quinoa is cooking, heat oil in a skillet and cook chicken breasts for about couple of minutes on each side. Slice each chicken breast.

Mix kale, olive oil, and salt in a large bowl. Massage kale with your hands for a couple of minutes, until kale leaves are tender. (The kale will turn a brighter green color.)

Toss salad ingredients and serve on plates. Top with sliced chicken breasts, sliced almonds, and optional crumbled feta cheese.
