Shaved Kale and Root Vegetable Salad
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon minced shallot
- 1 clove garlic, minced

- 4 medium carrots, cut in half lengthwise, sliced thin on bias

- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- For the red wine vinaigrette: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the red wine vinegar, shallots, garlic, salt and pepper and whisk together well.
- Slowly whisk the extra-virgin olive oil into the middle of the vinegar mixture to create an emulsion, incorporating all the oil.

- For the salad: In a medium saucepan, toast the quinoa in the olive oil over medium-high heat about 1 minute to evaporate the water.
- Add the vegetable stock and salt and bring to a boil.
- Immediately reduce to a simmer and cook, covered, until the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
- Remove from the burner and allow to sit covered for 5 minutes.
- Fluff the quinoa and let cool uncovered; reserve to the side.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the kale, carrots, radishes, red onion and cooked red quinoa.
