Kale, Chicken & Quinoa Salad Wrap
Kale, Chicken & Quinoa Salad Wrap
Ingredients
Substitution
Note
Ingredients for 1 serving:
- 5oz cooked chicken breast (chopped into pieces)
- 1 whole grain flour tortilla (I used one made with rolled oats and seeds)
- Salad:
- 1 cup wilted kale
- 3/4 cup spinach (heirloom or regular)
- 1/2 cup cooked quinoa
- 1/4 cup chopped red onion
- 1 tablespoon raisins (or your choice of naturally dried fruit)
- 5 tablespoon chopped walnuts
- 1 tablespoon shaved almonds
- 1 tablespoon chopped mint
- Juice from 1/2 lemon
- 1 tablespoon feta (or goat cheese)
- 2 tablespoons of Bragg Hawaiian Dressing & Marinade (or your favorite low calorie vinaigrette or dressing)
- Garnish
- Balsamic glaze
Steps
Step 1
Cook a batch of quinoa according to the instructions given on the package, then set it aside.
Step 2
Spray a skillet with olive oil and set it on medium high heat. Toss in chicken breasts and season them with a little sea salt and pepper.
Step 3
Once the chicken has finished cooking, remove the chicken from the skillet and allow it to cool down before cutting it into pieces.
Step 4
In the same skillet, toss in chopped kale with a few tablespoons of water. This will help to wilt and soften the kale. Do not overcook the kale – no more than two minutes. Remove the kale from the skillet and allow it to cool down to at least room temperature.
Step 5
Place the kale in a bowl and toss in the remaining ingredients for the salad. Mix the salad together using tongs, ensuring that the entire mixture is covered in the salad dressing.
Step 6
Dump the contents of the salad onto the whole grain tortilla and then add the chopped chicken breasts.
Step 7
Garnish with balsamic glaze then roll the tortilla to create the wrap.
