Recipe: Quinoa, Cucumber, Kale Salad

Earth & Vine prepared this recipe at the grand opening of Fresh Market, Commonwealth Pkwy.  The following day, customers were calling the store asking for the recipe, it was so delicious they wanted to prepare it.  For the customers at the grand opening, here's the recipe.  For my customers at Fresh Market, Huguenot, I think we need to give this a try.
