Kale Salad with Quinoa

By devogirl

Unless you live under a rock or missed the train, you know that kale and quinoa are taking over the world. Or at least in the culinary sense. Everywhere I look it’s kale this and quinoa that. And you know what? It’s music to my ears. These two super foods are staples in our diet and I’m happy to incorporate them whenever I can.
