Step-By-Step Instructions:
-
Bring the water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the quinoa and cook until most of the liquid is absorbed. Loosely cover, reduce the heat to low, and cook until the quinoa is fully cooked, about 20 minutes. Rinse under cold running water; drain and transfer to a large bowl.
-
Add the kale, apple, onion, cheese, and pumpkin seeds.
-
Whisk together the vinegar, oil, and salt in a small bowl. Add the dressing to the quinoa mixture and toss until well mixed.
