Kale is one of the most nutrient-dense foods out there, with tons of good-for-you vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Despite the benefits, some people still don’t find it appealing. Luckily, this recipe brings kale together with other wholesome, tasty ingredients and a fresh dressing to change minds! Protein-rich quinoa, tomato, basil, crunchy pistachio and creamy avocado are tossed in, and an irresistible soy-shallot dressing is drizzled on top. The combo of flavors and textures will undoubtedly create some true kale believers. Pro tip: Remove kale stems and massage the leaves to make them softer and easier to chew.
