Ingredients
- for the quinoa flatbread 1 1/4 cups uncooked quinoa, soaked in hot water 30-45 minutes, then drained 3/4 cup vegetable broth 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp onion powder sea salt to taste for the crunchy salad 2 cups chopped kale, massaged with a tiny bit of olive oil and salt 1 cup shredded red cabbage 1/2 cup shredded carrots 1/2 cup diced cucumber 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper 1 cup cooked and cooled edamame 1/2 cup roasted peanuts 1/3 cup chopped cilantro sliced green onion for garnish for the peanut dressing 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp creamy peanut butter 1/2 tbsp maple syrup or honey 1 tbsp rice vinegar 1 tbsp soy sauce or coconut aminos 1 tbsp lime juice (or lemon juice) 1/4 cup warm water, more as needed to thin 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp onion powder sea salt to taste
Instructions
- preheat oven to 375°f and line a 9x13 baking pan with parchment paper.
- add the drained quinoa, vegetable broth, garlic powder, onion powder, and sea salt to a food processor. blend on high until a thick, smooth paste forms — you should no longer see whole quinoa grains. spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- bake for 15 minutes. remove from the oven, add any desired toppings (like extra herbs, sesame seeds, or crushed peanuts), and bake for another 15 minutes, until golden and set. let cool slightly, then slice into pieces.
- in a large bowl, toss together the massaged kale, red cabbage, carrots, cucumber, red bell pepper, edamame, peanuts, and cilantro.
- whisk together all peanut dressing ingredients in a small bowl, adding water a little at a time until you reach a creamy, pourable consistency.
- pour the dressing over the salad and toss well to coat. add to the quinoa flatbread, cut into slices and enjoy!
