One of my favorite salads to prep for lunches for the week or a delicious dinner for the week. The dressing is such a great homemade staple and pairs well with many salads!

INGREDIENTS:

– olive oil – wine vinegar – lemon juice – shallots – garlic – oregano – basil – pepper – kale – cucumber – kalamata olives

Instructions:

In an immersion blender cup, add all the ingredients. Immersion blends quickly up & down for 3 seconds.

In a large frying pan, add 1/2 tbsp of butter and turn on medium heat. Wait for the butter to start to melt, then add in the sliced almonds.

Toast, while continuing to move them around for 3-5 minutes, until they start to brown on both sides. You want them brown, not dark or burned.

Cook Quinoa based on package instructions. Then place in a large bowl to cool until ready to build salad too.

In 2 bowls, disperse the greens. Then layer on the cucumbers, sliced onions, toasted almonds, kalamata olives, cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, and quinoa & then drizzle the delicious healthy greek dressing on top!
