Healthy Recipes Healthy Salad Recipes Healthy Green Salad Recipes Healthy Kale Salad Recipes Kale & Quinoa Salad with Cranberries Be the first to rate & review! This autumnal kale-quinoa salad is a delicious mixture of texture and flavor. Celery and walnuts add crunch while dried cranberries and apple add a sweet-tart note. We use blue cheese in this salad, but feta, Parmesan, goat cheese or manchego would be just as tasty. By Karen Rankin Karen Rankin Website Karen Rankin is a recipe tester, developer and food stylist.
