Instructions

1 Make the quinoa. Cook according to package instructions.
2 While the quinoa cooks, make the dressing. Combine oil, lime juice, dijon
mustard and Greek yogurt in a small bowl and whisk together until combined.
3 Place the torn kale in a large bowl. Pour dressing over top, massage into the
leaves and let it sit for a few mins.
4 Warm a small pan over medium heat. Add the butter and sugar and stir until the
butter is melted. Add the walnuts and toss until they begin to brown, about 5
minutes.
5 Stir in the rosemary and cayenne and continue to toss just a few seconds to
release the aroma. Remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper, to
taste.
6 Once the nuts are done you can add to the salad on top if serving right away.
7 Add the edamame, dried cranberries and sliced apples to the bowl of kale. Toss
everything together. Top with warm nuts and serve.
