Instructions:

1. Cooking the Quinoa:

Rinse the quinoa under cold water to remove any bitterness.
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil.
Add the rinsed quinoa, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the quinoa is tender.
Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and set aside to cool.

2. Preparing the Kale:

While the quinoa is cooking, wash and chop the kale into bite-sized pieces.
Place the chopped kale in a large bowl and drizzle with a small amount of olive oil.
Massage the kale with your hands for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes tender and slightly wilted. This helps to break down the fibers and makes the kale more palatable.

3. Preparing the Dressing:

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, honey or maple syrup, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.

4. Assembling the Salad:

In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, massaged kale, cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, sliced red onion, shredded carrots, dried cranberries, and pumpkin seeds.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring all ingredients are well coated with the dressing.
Gently fold in the quartered hard-boiled eggs.

5. Serving:

Serve the salad immediately or refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
This salad can be enjoyed as a main dish or a side dish.

Tips:

For added protein, you can top the salad with grilled chicken, tofu, or chickpeas.
Feel free to customize the salad with other superfoods such as avocado, chia seeds, or nuts.
If you prefer a sweeter dressing, add a bit more honey or maple syrup to taste.
