How to Make A Quinoa, Kale, and Strawberry Salad via @Blavity
i’m andrea talley i’m the founder and ceo of green lid and today we are making quinoa kale and strawberry salad quinoa quinoa is a grain in its powerhouse grain it’s actually a complete protein it has all eight of the essential amino acids already packed into these little tiny seeds we’re going to be using kale in the salad today kale is nutrient dense it’s packed with vitamins minerals enzymes and antioxidants and we’re going to have strawberries interesting fact i actually eat the greens on the strawberries this is where all the nutrients in the strawberry most of the nutrients lives up top so eat that part the quinoa that i’m using is already cooked you cook quinoa just like the way that you would cook rice one cup of water to half a cup of quinoa you add the raw quinoa to the boiling water cook it until there’s no more water the grain’s gonna absorb all the water and that’s when you know it’s ready it’s super important when you’re eating kale in a salad to shred it really thin like hairs the thinner the better i mean like super strength then you also want to massage your kale so i’m just going to squeeze it a few times in my hands because what we’re doing here is we’re rupturing some of the cellular walls so that way your body is able to digest all the nutrients inside olive oil is also going to help break down some of the rough cell walls in the kale so then we’re just going to cut the strawberries but yeah if you’re in a hurry in the morning and you’re just making a quick salad for yourself for lunch you could toss this into tupperware sprinkle a little bit of a salt and pepper on top and then you’re really done that’s your whole salad okay guys so today we made a kale quinoa and strawberry salad it’s super easy you can make this in under five minutes tastes fresh the flavors are buoyant healthy food fast
