Quinoa + Kale Greek Salad (gf + vegetarian)
This salad has so many of my favorite things – quinoa, kale, chickpeas, cheese. The combination is perfectly light, healthy and satisfying. This salad will come together super quickly and it makes a pretty large batch. It’s perfect to make for yourself and have leftovers or to bring to a potluck for a big group of people. Try this as a meatless meal, or add some grilled chicken for extra protein!
