Nutritious whole foods is a great way to boost your immune system and to keep your gut healthy. This easy salad is filled with six delicious and nutritious immune boosting ingredients!
Ingredients
Salad Ingredients:
1/2 cup cooked organic quinoa
2 – 3 cups of washed and chopped kale that has been destemmed
1/4 cup organic blueberries
1/4 cup organic goji berries
1/4 cup organic shredded carrots
1/4 cup organic pumpkin seeds
1/8 cup organic sunflower seeds (optional)
Salad Dressing:
2 ounces freshly squeezed organic orange juice
2 ounces champagne vinegar
1 ounce of shallot infused olive oil**
1 teaspoon orange zest from an organic orange
salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
1.) In a medium to large-sized bowl toss the freshly washed and chopped kale and the cooked quinoa together. Toss in the rest of the other ingredients.
2.) To make the salad dressing, add all the ingredients to a small mason jar, add the lid (make sure to screw the lid on there tightly – trust me on this;) and shake to combine all together. Or you can place all the ingredients in a small bowl and whisk together to emulsify.
3.) Add as much of the dressing as you like to the salad (you will have leftover dressing) and toss all together, and enjoy!
Notes
**If you don’t have or cannot find shallot infused olive oil, feel free to use a 1 teaspoon of grated fresh shallot. I used this oil as it is low in FODMAPs and easier on my tummy
