Staple: Lemon Kale and Quinoa Salad

http://www.budgetbytes.com/2015/01/lemony-kale-quinoa-salad/

This is delicious and so so so easy. I make this all of the time and it only gets easier.

So, I have made some modifications that up the price a little bit, but are so worth it. (And my quinoa from costco probably makes up theh difference really)
-- use precut kale. so. easy.
--use prechopped garlic, it's not quite as good, but oh well.
--double it, I'm going to eat it. Save myself the trouble

So directions are now

1. Put some olive oil (1 tbsp or so) in a big pot and put the garlic in there too and turn up to like 6.
2. Add a bunch of kale... haven't figured out how much is ideal yet, but dump a bunch in. Keep them in there for a couple of minutes or until they start to get glossy.
3. Add two cups of quinoa and three bouilion cubes and three cups of water. Put a lid on it and turn up the heat to a 7 or an 8
3. Start zesting the lemon
4. When the pot is boiling, turn it down to a 2 or so and let it simmer for 15 minutes. (Do longer if necesary to get the liquid out)
5. Put the lemon zest on it, squeeze either half a lemon or the whole lemon into it, add feta and walnuts. Done.
So. EASY.
