Made with superfoods kale and quinoa, it\u2019s hard to get much healthier than this salad. Kale is among the most nutrient-dense<\/a> greens out there \u2013 loaded with calcium, fiber, vitamins A, C and K. The bright and tangy lemon vinaigrette contrasts nicely with the earthy flavor of the leafy veggies, while colorful fruits and vegetables combine to add a harmonious mix of vitamins, antioxidants and fat. Edamame and quinoa provide the dish with generous serving of protein. Bon app\u00e9tit to that!<\/p>\n
