This is the best salad and it's packed with so much natural herb flavor. The crunchy texture from the kale and candied walnuts, the tangy feta plus the protein rich quinoa make this the most delicious salad in town. This was first inspired by a salad at a local Miami cafe and has since become one of my staple recipes to make at home. This is the perfect salad to make ahead or for a big group. It's always a crowd please.
