Method:

For the Dressing:

Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. If you prefer a runnier dressing, add a dash of water. Season to taste and set aside until needed. (As a cheat, you can also combine pesto with the yoghurt.)

For the Salad:

Cut the apple into thin, whole slices. Drizzle the slices with the lemon juice to prevent them from turning brown. In a small bowl, coat the sliced red onion
with the apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for a few minutes to pickle. Arrange the kale, quinoa, apple slices, orange and pickled onion on a serving platter. Serve with the yoghurt avocado dressing.
