Best 4 Superfood Salad Recipes

SUPER SALAD (ADAPTED FROM WHOLE FOODS SUPERFOOD SALAD)

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.

SUPERFOOD SALAD

Steps:

• Bring water to a boil in a saucepan. Add quinoa and bring back to a boil. Reduce heat and cover; simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Pour into a strainer; run cold water over quinoa to cool slightly.
• Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add sweet potato and beet; cover and steam until tender, about 15 minutes. Add edamame; steam until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and cool until running water.
• Combine tomato, red bell pepper, spinach, red onion, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and black pepper in a large bowl. Fold in cooked quinoa, sweet potato, beet, and edamame. Top salad with goat cheese.

SUPERFOOD COCONUT CURRY SALMON SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with coconut oil or olive oil cooking spray and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, curry, lemon juice, oregano, and tamari soy sauce. Place the salmon into a nonreactive container or baking dish with a lid, and pour the marinade over the top. Using a cooking brush, baste the salmon with the marinade, cover, and place into the fridge for about 30 minutes.
• Remove the salmon from the fridge, and transfer to the prepared baking dish. Bake, on middle rack, for about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. The salmon should feel slightly firm to the touch.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, curry powder, lemon juice, honey, and tamari soy sauce until well combined. Add the kale, quinoa, and red onion to the bowl and toss gently to coat with the dressing. Flake in the cooked and slightly cooled salmon with fork, and toss to combine.

QUICK WARM AVOCADO BEAN SALAD (SUPERFOOD)

Steps:

• Rinse the brown rice and put in a pan with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then turn down to lowest heat and place the lid on the pan; leave for 10-15 minutes or until all the water has absorbed.
• Chop the red pepper.
• Peel the avocado and chop into chunks; squeeze lime juice and pulp all over the avocadoes to stop them going brown and to provide zing!
• When rice is done add the tins of peas and beans, the red pepper and spices and stir to mix everything together.
• Transfer to a big bowl, add the avocadoes and stir gently.
• Eat straight from the bowl a bit warm or put in fridge and wait to cool.
• If you want, season to taste adding more cayenne or garlic or salt or pepper.
