Kale, Quinoa, and Roasted Vegetable Salad
This salad is the antidote to an indulgent, winter comfort food hangover or the perfect salad to bring to a heavy family meal pitch in. Crisp greens and bright parsley add much-needed freshness to leftover roasted vegetables, and quinoa as a grain base makes this a filling, protein-packed meal that can stand alone. Throw in roasted veggies of any kind: Carrots, parsnips, and winter squashes are all good fits.
