Quick Quinoa & Kale Salad
We all want something quick, easy, and healthy to serve for a side dish with meals. This salad packs protein and fiber into a delicious side dish that will have your family asking for more. After a recent visit to the mountains of North Carolina, we tasted a similar salad made with quinoa and kale. I was unable to get the recipe, but put together a similar recipe using ingredients I had in my kitchen. I used a salad kit and Seeds of Change quinoa & brown rice to make preparation quick and easy.
