Great salad, and flavours infuse even more if left overnight.
Bring the quinoa and 1.33 cups of water to boil in a saucepan.
Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until the quinoa is tender and the water has been absorbed, about 15-20 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Place kale in a steamer basket over 1" of boiling water in a saucepan.
Cover saucepan with a lid and steam kale until hot, about 45 seconds; transfer to a large plate.
Top kale with quinoa, avocado, cucumber, bell pepper, red onion and feta cheese.
Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, sea salt and black pepper together in a bowl until the oil emulsified into the dressing.
Pour over the salad.
Steaming the kale removes some of the bitterness. The salad dressing ties all the flavours together. A quartet of superfoods (kale, quinoa, avocado and olive oil) make this a healthy meal!
