Method
Put the quinoa in a bowl and cover with approximately 700ml cold water. Leave to soak overnight (or for at least 8 hours).
Drain the quinoa and transfer to a large saucepan. Cover with 350ml of water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and stir for 10-12 minutes, or until the quinoa is tender.
Drain the quinoa and place in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with sea salt.
Meanwhile, for the dressing, whisk all the ingredients together until smooth, creamy and well combine, adding a little warm water if necessary. Season with pepper.
Melt the coconut oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the kale and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes, adding the garlic after 1 minute. Continue frying until the kale is tender, add to the quinoa and stir to combine.
To serve, divide the kale and quinoa among four plates and garnish with the orange zest. Drizzle over the dressing, and sprinkle over the nuts and the fresh herbs.
