In reply to Dena Englander. Hi Dena, the dressing should last 1-2 weeks in the refigerator.

How long could the dressing be left in the fridge?

I LOVE this recipe! It’s super easy, it’s gorgeous, and delicious. I customized it for fall produce availability by just swapping the basil for more kale. That sauce still slaps. This time, I used farro instead of quinoa. So good! I add roasted chickpeas too.

In reply to Hayley. I've been making this salad for years and it's just so delicious. I love eating this when it's fresh made and warm and then having it cold the next day. You're recipes are just fabulous Thank you so much for all your hard work

I tried it with Japanese-style sweet potatoes. Very nice!

In reply to Felicity. Hi Felicity, I don't have a favorite, but I have been meaning to test different brands so thanks for the reminder. I probably use the Whole Foods 365 the most.

Hi Kate, do you make your own vegetable broth, and if so, would you mind sharing your recipe? If not, what brand vegetable broth do you prefer?

Best,
Felicity

I love this recipe! I am always looking for good quinoa and kale salads and this one tops the list. I’ve made it three times in the last month. Today I forgot to cook the quinoa in broth and had to use your “Super Kale Pesto Recipe” because the grocery was out of basil. Also I had to use pepitas because I was out of sunflower seeds. Turned out just as good as always! Can’t wait to eat this for lunch tomorrow – yum!

I didn’t have basil or parsley – I used coriander for the dressing. No sunflower seeds sadly – I think a little crunch would be awesome – maybe pomegranate seeds? Also added some tenderstem broccoli to the salad. Loved this recipe :) got 3 portions and have saved some of the dressing to add before serving the other portions. Thank you!!!
