The best recipe for Quinoa, Kale and Pomegranate Salad
This festive salad would be the perfect addition to any holiday!
Ever since figuring out how to make kale salads, I’ve been addicted to them! I added a bit of quinoa to make this salad meal sized. If you don’t have pomegranate seeds, substitute dried cranberries. You could also add feta if desired! This recipe makes two side servings or one large serving…I ate the whole thing myself!
