Such a tasty vegan salad that is as delicious as it is nutritious! It is very simple to make but it requires some assembling-still, it is so worth it! The combination of my Simply Quinoa with a hint of turmeric (click here for recipe), sautéed kale and grilled corn is absolutely wonderful together and the fresh mint just gives it the perfect final touch!
