Steps:
- Blend 1 cup olive oil, lemon juice, shallot, Dijon mustard, honey, and kosher salt together in a blender until dressing is smooth and creamy.
- Bring water and chicken bouillon to a boil in a saucepan; add quinoa, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Fluff quinoa with a fork and transfer to a large bowl.
- Heat remaining olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat; saute onion and garlic in hot oil until golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir kale into onion mixture; saute until kale is tender, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Stir kale mixture into quinoa. Pour dressing over the top and add pine nuts and avocado; toss to coat. Serve warm or cold.

LEMON DIJON SALAD DRESSING
I copied this recipe from a Barefoot Contessa episode on The Food Network. Usually I make only half the recipe, using 2 tablespoons of regular mayonnaise instead of the raw egg yolk...seems to work fine. This is one of my family's favourite salad dressings. I guessed at the total number of servings, based on 2 Tablespoons dressing per salad serving, but this may be more or less than your personal preference dictates.
