Quinoa Base

Heat oil in saucepan, add kale and garlic and cook about 2 minutes.

Stir in remaining ingredients, reduce heat and cook until water is absorbed. (I added a little extra water and drained it at the end.)

This can be made ahead and reheated when needed.

Tahini Dressing

Blend all ingredients in a blender or whisk together in a small bowl.

Dressing can be made a head of time.

Prepare remaining elements as desired.
