Kale & Quinoa Salad with Lemon Garlic Dressing
July 27, 2015
Kale has been deemed the number one superfood, a nutritional powerhouse. The benefits of eating kale are too numerous to list. I was recently in a supermarket and notice a whole wall of kale in the salad section. There is some sort of kale salad on almost every restaurant menu these days. Quinoa (pronounced 'keen-wah') is another superfood, which is a complete protein. It has the perfect ratio of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats and is one of the best sources of protein you can get from a plant source. By pairing these two superfoods, you've now got an explosion of nutrition, not to mention flavor!

Directions
1Put the quinoa, stock and a pinch of salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to simmer for about 15 minutes, until all liquid is absorbed. Remove from the heat and let it sit covered, for 10 minutes. Fluff quinoa with a fork.
2Mix the tahini, olive oil, vinegar, sugar, hot sauce, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a bowl. Then stir in the kale and massage with your hands so that the kale breaks down. Next, add the onion, sunflower seeds, parsley and quinoa. Mix to combine.
