Kale and quinoa are two of the most popular health foods around, and for good reason. Kale is packed with nutrients, including vitamins A, C, and K, as well as fiber and antioxidants. Quinoa is a complete protein, meaning that it contains all of the essential amino acids that our bodies need. It's also a good source of fiber, iron, and magnesium. This salad was born out of a desire to create a healthy and delicious dish that was also easy to make. I started with a base of kale and quinoa, then added some avocado, red onion, and cilantro for flavor and texture. The lemon-tahini dressing is the perfect finishing touch, adding a bright and tangy flavor that really brings the salad to life. This salad is a great way to get your daily dose of greens, and it's also a good source of protein, fiber, and other nutrients.
