Steps:
- Combine and toss.
- **All the measurements are estimates. I typically eyeball everything based on how much I want to make. I like to chop both the kale and cabbage well because it allows all the ingredients to incorporate better and it is just yummier that way. This salad stores really well in an air tight container in the refrigerator minus the dressing. I like to portion it out into single serving containers for ease as well as when I add the dressing I just replace the lid and shake to distribute the dressing.

Steps:
- Bring a saucepan of water to the boil and fill a large bowl with ice-cold water. Add the broccoli to the pan and cook for 2 mins, then add the soya beans and cook for 1-2 mins more until the broccoli is cooked but still has a bite. Drain and drop the vegetables straight into the cold water - this quickly cools them, retaining their bite and bright colour. Leave for 1-2 mins until cool, then drain and leave in the colander while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
- Dry the large bowl. Add the dressing ingredients with some seasoning and whisk together. Halve, stone and peel the avocados, then cut into chunky dice and add straight to the dressing (this will stop the avocado turning brown). Add the quinoa, spinach, herbs, half the pomegranate and pumpkin seeds, and the cooked vegetables to the bowl, and gently toss everything together. Transfer the salad to a serving platter, scatter with the remaining seeds and serve. Any leftovers will keep in the fridge for lunch the next day.

Tips:
- Use fresh, seasonal ingredients. This will ensure that your salad is packed with flavor and nutrients.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different greens. There are many different types of greens available, so try out a few different ones to find your favorites. Some popular options include kale, spinach, romaine lettuce, and arugula.
- Add a variety of toppings. This will make your salad more interesting and flavorful. Some good options include nuts, seeds, dried fruit, fresh fruit, and crumbled cheese.
- Use a light dressing. A heavy dressing will overpower the other flavors in your salad. Try using a vinaigrette, olive oil, or lemon juice instead.
- Store your salad properly. If you're not going to eat your salad right away, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This will help to keep it fresh and crisp.

A super salad is a delicious and healthy way to get your daily dose of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. By following these tips, you can make a super salad that is packed with flavor and nutrients. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying meal, try making a super salad.
