Step by step

1. To cook the quinoa, wash it well under running water. Boil quinoa in one cup of water, then reduce heat and cover to simmer until water is absorbed and the quinoa is soft. Fluff it with a fork and set aside to cool.
2. Heat olive oil in a small pan and sauté diced red onions and sliced mushrooms for a few minutes until softened. Set aside to cool.
3. In the same pan, add sliced pineapple and sauté on a low heat for 5-8 minutes until nice and soft and edges are a bit caramelized.
4. In a medium bowl, add quinoa, pineapple, mushroom and red onions and stir to combine.
5. Sprinkle sliced kale and mint to the salad.
6. To prepare the dressing, whisk pineapple juice with apple cider vinegar, olive oil and salt & pepper. Pour it over the salad and serve cold.
