Cooking Tips
- Quinoa preparation: Ensure the quinoa is well rinsed before cooking to remove any bitterness. Cook until fluffy and allow it to cool before adding to the salad.
- Chopping the greens: For a finer texture that integrates well with the quinoa and dressing, chop the kale and herbs as finely as possible.
- Dressing consistency: Adjust the amount of water in the dressing if necessary to achieve your desired consistency. It should be pourable but not too thin.
