Cook a large batch of quinoa for breakfast and save 2 cups (or an appropriate portion) for your salad that evening. Chop the grilled vegetables into large pieces (3/4 inch). The photo shows the grilled pieces before chopping (in case you were wondering).
Chop the kale leaves into small pieces. Here's my quick and neat technique for chopping kale:
- Strip the leaves from the thick stem then slice the pieces lengthwise into 1-inch strips.
- Next cut the strips into shorter strips then stack them lengthwise and slice thinly across the width. You're left with 1x1/4-inch pieces to add to your dish.
- Alternatively, de-stem and cut into large pieces then chiffonade the kale.
