Ingredients

1 cup uncooked quinoa
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved (2 cups)
1 1/4 cups finely chopped fresh Italian (flat-leaf) parsley (1 bunch)
3/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro (1 bunch)
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh mint leaves (1 bunch)
2 green onions, thinly sliced (2 medium)
1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
1 can (19 oz) chick peas or garbanzo beans, drained, rinsed
1 bunch (8 oz) fresh kale, ribs removed, leaves thinly sliced (6 cups)
2 tablespoons crumbled chèvre (goat) cheese

Steps:

In 2-quart saucepan, toast quinoa over medium-high heat 2 to 3 minutes, stirring until grains separate. Add water and salt; heat to boiling. Cover; reduce heat to low. Simmer 10 to 12 minutes or until quinoa is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat. Let stand covered 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in large bowl, mix lemon juice and garlic. While beating with whisk, pour olive oil into garlic mixture. Add tomatoes, parsley, cilantro, mint, green onions, pepper, chick peas and kale. Toss to thoroughly coat.
Fluff quinoa with fork. Add quinoa to tomato mixture. Toss to combine (the kale will wilt slightly). Sprinkle with cheese.

KALE TABBOULEH

Kale Tabbouleh image

Here's the thing about tabbouleh salad: Most of the ones I've had invert my preferred proportion of bulgur to parsley. What you usually get is a bowl of tabbouleh studded with bits of parsley. I like a salad that is mostly parsley, studded with grains of tabbouleh. I pictured a generous ratio of green to tan, but with kale standing in for parsley. It has a hint of parsley's pleasing bitterness, but is far milder, which means that this tabbouleh salad didn't have to be just a side dish, one best eaten in small portions. Instead, I could eat a whole bowl of it - a dream for a raw kale devotee.
