Instructions
- Cook quinoa and cool.
- Whisk dressing ingredients: while quinoa is cooling, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, honey, dijon and salt in a jar or bowl
- Pour 3/4 dressing over kale, massage kale, chill: Add kale to salad bowl, whisk dressing once more then pour 3/4 of the dressing over kale and massage kale until evenly coated. Cover bowl and chill 15 minutes.
