Welcome viewers and introduce the recipe for a Caesar/Cobb salad.

Prepare quinoa by combining 1 cup of quinoa and 2 cups of water in a dish, bringing it to a boil.

Add 3-4 cups of kale and 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning to the boiling quinoa, stirring occasionally during cooking.

Once cooked, let the quinoa and kale mixture cool in the fridge for 20-30 minutes.

Chop spring greens, 2 heads of Roma lettuce, 4 cherry tomatoes, 1/2 cucumber, and onions, and combine them in a large bowl.

Make the dressing by blending together 1/2 cup of hemp seeds, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast, and 1/2 teaspoon of mustard with about 1/2 cup of water.

Adjust the consistency of the dressing by adding more hemp seeds or water as needed, blending until smooth.

Store the dressing in the fridge until ready to serve, noting that it will thicken as it cools.

Combine the salad ingredients with the quinoa mixture just before serving, adding dressing to individual portions to prevent sogginess.
