KALE AND QUINOA SALAD WITH PLUMS AND HERBS
I was so taken with the spicy, sweet and savory mix of flavors in the soba salad with eggplant and pluots that I made a few weeks ago that I decided to use the same formula for a kale and quinoa salad. The kale is the main ingredient here, with quinoa adding texture and bulk.

- To cut the kale, stem, wash and spin dry the leaves, then stack several at a time and cut crosswise into thin slivers. Toss in a large bowl with the quinoa, chile, herbs, and half the plums.
- Whisk together the vinegar, lime zest and juice, salt to taste, garlic and sunflower or grapeseed oil. Toss with the salad. Garnish with the remaining plums and serve.

RAINBOW QUINOA SALAD
Dr. David Eisenberg of the Harvard School of Public Health demonstrated along with his daughter, Naomi, a whole- wheat couscous salad that is the inspiration for this one at the "Healthy Kitchens, Healthy Lives" medical education conference in Napa Valley this year. You can use a variety of dried fruits and nuts, as well as a mix of herbs. Chop the larger dried fruits small so that the pieces are uniform.
