Instructions
- Start by gathering all your ingredients. It's always helpful to have everything in front of you to make the prep easier. In a large bowl, combine the sweet kale salad mix and add the cooked king salmon, broken into bite-sized pieces.
- Next, rinse the quinoa under cold water and add it to the bowl. This grain adds a wonderful texture and is packed with nutrients.
- Now, fold in the fresh blueberries and dried cranberries. Their sweetness will complement the earthiness of the kale.
- Don’t forget to sprinkle the pepitas over the top for a satisfying crunch that enhances the overall flavor.
- In a small jar, combine the Almond Milk Cashew Milk, light mayonnaise, honey, dijon mustard, white vinegar, poppy seeds, and onion powder. Make sure the lid is on tightly!
- Now, shake the jar vigorously until all the ingredients are well combined and smooth. This will create a lovely light dressing that coats the salad perfectly.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to ensure everything is well coated. You want to make sure each bite is full of flavor!
- Once everything is mixed, take a moment to appreciate your beautiful creation. The colors should be vibrant, and the textures should be varied.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your Superfood Salad while it's fresh. It's best eaten right away but can also be saved for later if needed.
