Sweet kale and quinoa salad

Winter months usually call for soups and comfort foods, but when it's hot outside nothing tastes better than a salad. Even though most of the country is dealing with freezing temperatures, the sweet notes in this salad make it appropriate even if the only warmth you're getting is from that heater on high. If you're not a kale eater (or you don't think you are), this is the best way to eat it cause you won't even taste it with all the other stuff masking it in there.

Sweet kale and quinoa salad
Serves 3-4
1 cup of cooked red quinoa
1/2 bag of Trader Joe's kale finely chopped
4 dates
Generous handful of raisins/currants
Generous handful of walnuts
1 apple (I went for a pink lady)
Orange Muscat Champagne Vinegar (Trader Joe's)
Olive Oil
Apple cider vinegar
Salt and pepper

1. Mix the quinoa and kale evenly.
2. Chop the dates, walnuts, and apple into smaller pieces and add along with the raisins/currants to the green-quinoa mix.
3. Dress the salad with the olive oil, champagne vinegar, and apple cider vinegar. It's kinda to taste to mix well and taste.
4. Finish off with salt and pepper. Serve either immediately or cover and refrigerate to serve later; with all the vinegar and oil soaked in for a little bit it tastes even better.
