Kale and quinoa are just two of the basic ingredients needed that makes this salad savory and bright! It’s so easy and delicious that every single time I make it it’s a home run. While the ingredients may sound a little trendy, they are far from it as they are readily available and a staple in most kitchens now a days. Add your favorite protein for an extra layer of goodness and turn it into a full out dinner plate loaded with flavor!
