Avocado & Kale Quinoa Salad

• Quinoa
• 1 cup quinoa
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 2 cups chopped kale
• 1 cup frozen shelled edamame
• Creamy Avocado Dressing
• 1 ripe avocado
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
• 1 small garlic clove, minced
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 ripe avocado, slice to garnish

1. Combine quinoa and vegetable broth in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 15 minutes, until all liquid is absorbed. Place quinoa in a large bowl and set aside.
2. Fill a large pot with about an inch of water. Place a steamer on the bottom of the pot and add the kale and edamame. Cover and steam over high heat for 2-3 minutes, until kale turns bright green and edamame is defrosted. Plunge greens into a bowl of cold water to prevent further cooking. Drain well and set aside.
3. For the avocado dressing, using a food processor or blender, combine avocado, lemon juice, mayonnaise, white wine vinegar, garlic, parsley, basil, cumin, salt and pepper. Pulse 2 to 3 times, until well combined. Add olive oil gradually and blend well.
4. Add kale and edamame to the quinoa and toss with avocado dressing. Garnish with sliced avocado.
