Kale, Quinoa & Apple Salad
This kale, quinoa and apple salad is perfect for fall.

Fresh apples bring crisp autumn flavor, and the kale breaks down when it’s massaged with the dressing.
Nuts, fennel and quinoa add more layers of texture, while blue cheese lends a savory note.
Make these wraps ahead of time for a grab-and-go lunch or dinner.
