Have some greens

I love quinoa. I love Kale. Why not put them together?

I only started eating kale in the past couple of years when I read they were not as bitter as turnip greens. I love them mixed in just about anything because they wilt down and have a mild flavor. Better yet, they are a seriously nutritious green food.

I love quinoa too and making it kale just seems like it would be a natural step though I have never thought about it! This looks so good and easy to make! I can't wait to try it out! We have quinoa at least once a week, lately more - so guess what I am making Thursday?? Thanks for sharing!!
