Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

10 oz. bag fresh kale
1/2 cup KRAFT Caesar Vinaigrette Dressing
1 cup quinoa, rinsed
2 cups water
1 pt. cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup OSCAR MAYER Real Bacon Bits

Steps:

  • TEAR kale into bite sized pieces and place in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle ½ cup KRAFT Caesar Vinaigrette with Parmesan over kale. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator to allow kale to soften.
  • BRING quinoa and water to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to lowest setting, cover, and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes before gently fluffing with a fork. Allow quinoa to cool to room temperature before assembling salad.
  • When ready to serve, toss prepared kale, quinoa, tomatoes and OSCAR MAYER Real Bacon Bits together.
