Energy Boosting Kale, Quinoa And Berry Salad.

Earthy quinoa provides a hearty, protein-rich base, while kale adds a robust texture and a serious nutritional boost.

When paired with sweet, juicy berries, the flavours come alive balancing savoury and fresh with subtle pops of natural sweetness.

A light, zesty dressing ties everything together, enhancing the ingredients without overpowering them and making each bite feel bright and refreshing.

Serves 4 | Prep: 20 minutes | Cook: 10-12 minutes

Ingredients:

• 900ml (11/2 pint) vegetable stock
• 225g (8oz) quinoa
• 1 tablespoon sunflower or rice bran oil
• 4 tablespoons flaked almonds
• 2 tablespoons sunflower seeds
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 4cm (11/2 inch) piece root ginger, peeled, coarsely grated
• 2 teaspoons agave syrup
• Freshly ground black pepper

To Finish:

• 50g (2oz) spinach leaves
• 50g (2oz) shredded kale
• 175g (6oz) raspberries
• 100g (4oz) blueberries

Method:

1. Add the vegetable stock to a saucepan and bring to the boil, add the quinoa and cook for 10-12 minutes or until the grains are just beginning to separate. 
2. Drain off most of the stock to leave just enough to keep the grains moist.
3. Meanwhile, heat the sunflower or rice bran oil in a frying pan, add the almonds and sunflower seeds and fry over a medium heat until just beginning to brown. 
4. Take off the heat and stir in the soy sauce. 
5. Leave to cool.
