1. For best results, soak the quinoa in water overnight, or skip soaking for convenience.
2. Cook the quinoa with salt at least 3 hours in advance so it has time to cool. Use 2 cups of water for every 1 cup of quinoa. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer about 20 min until quinoa is light, fluffy and tender. Let cool.
3. Chop the kale and steam for 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
4. Dice the cucumber and add to the kale. Zest the lime. Squeeze the lime juice over the kale. Gently fold kale mixture into the salad. Serve room temperature or chilled.
Enjoy.

Each dosha reflects a distinct metabolic nature and describes strengths & weaknesses in bodily function, and how these affect energy levels, digestion, susceptibility to disease, and many other tendencies.
Your metabolic nature not only affects your physical characteristics, but also influences your mental thought patterns, confidence, and enthusiasm.
Ayurveda balances these metabolic strengths & weaknesses to support your body's vitality and prevent recurrent disease cycles. This support is a critical aid, especially in chronic or incurable disease conditions.
The 3 metabolic body types (doshas), are Catabolic (Vata), Metabolic (Pitta), and Anabolic (Kapha).
Through dosha, Ayurveda empowers people to identify metabolic imbalances early, break repetitive patterns of disease, and cultivate habits that support long-term vitality and well-being.
Ultimately, these metabolic patterns also provide a framework for understanding yourself, including body, mind, and spiritual tendencies.
