A kale salad that tastes. Good tasting kale tossed in the best maple dijon dressing along with from fresh apple, quinoa and caramelized figs. Fall perfection!
Add the Quinoa with some salt to a pot along with twice the amount of water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and let simmer until all water is absorbed, abou 10 minutes. Turn down the heat to minimum, cover witha lid and let steam for about 3-4 minutes until fluffy.
In the meantime bring a pot with water to a boil and steam or boil the kale for about 4-5 minutes. Drain and let cool. Then roughly chop it up into bite-sized pieces and add to a large bowl.
Thinly slice or chop up the Apple and add it to the kale with the quinoa. Mix all of the ingredients for the dressing in a bowl or food processor until creamy and toss the salad in it!
Slice the figs into about 0,5cm thick slices (you can eat the peel of figs if you have washed them!). In a pan melt the vegan butter or heat up the oil. Add the sugar evenly to the pan. Place the fig slices on top of the sugar and let caramelize for about 3-4 minutes on medium high heat.
Divide the salad onto bowls nd top with the figs. Serve and enjoy!
