Quinoa, Corn, and Kale Salad with Lime Vinaigrette

This fresh quinoa salad is a wonderful way to enjoy late-summer vegetables, when sweet corn is at its peak and gardens are overflowing with kale and fresh herbs. Tender quinoa, finely chopped kale, sweet corn, and cilantro are tossed with a bright lime vinaigrette for a flavorful, plant-rich side dish. Serve it alongside grilled chicken, fish, or steak, or pair it with tacos, fajitas, and other Southwestern-inspired meals. It also holds up well in the refrigerator, making it a great salad to prepare ahead of time for weekday lunches or easy dinners.
