Baked Kale Salad with Crispy Quinoa

White onions work just as well as red onions. Red cabbage over normal gives both crispy and chewy texture - similar to mushrooms. Loved how it still worked with mismatch ingredients.

This is one of my go to salads. Absolutely delicious. I use shallots instead of red onion, but otherwise follow the recipe exactly. It's a fantastic way to use a lot of cabbage and kale. Love it.

Gpod bones, dressing needs more acid, less onions

Delicious! loved the crispy quinoa on top. Chili oil mixed in with the quinoa is a must, cuts the sweetness of the dressing. Great dish

Mine didn’t come out crispy but much better than I expected. Would be a good potluck addition

This was fantastic. I did make a few small tweaks based on what I had on hand, and liked that so much I saved a tweaked version for the future. Primarily I swapped the green cabbage for napa cabbage and shallot for the red onion. Highly recommend!

Surprisingly tasty. Makes a lot of leftovers for lunch the next day. The salad dressing was the highlight of the dish (used thinly sliced shallots instead of red onions after reading all the comments. I thought it would give a more subtle onion flavour). Also crumbled in some feta.

The cabbage kale and quinoa was great. It was the onion dressing that was awful! Much too strong and too much vinegar.

450 F burned the cabbage and reducing to 385 burned the kale too. Either it was meant to cook only 5 minutes, or with tons of oil, or way lower temperature. Agrodolce sauce was great, I used a 1/3 of the recommended amount of honey.

Kiddo said it tastes like sweet seaweed. Husband says “tolerable.” I liked but would only make it again if my family wasn’t around, ha.

Great idea for a quick meal or for lunch prep. I added a little more chili oil than called for and it was delicious. I did put the cabbage in the food processor, just do it would cook a little crisper.

Spectacular taste.

made this for my friendsgiving and my friends loved it!! didn't even need the dressing!

Add sweet potato, almonds, and goat cheese 😳

This was incredible. I baked my veggies for a bit longer than instructed here. Quinoa as well. Absolutely worth it and use the chili oil. Lots of dishes but I’m telling you WORTH IT.

I thought it was VERY tasty...but all comments about using 800 pots/pans are true 🤣 Luckily I love to cook so didn't mind (not looking forward to washing all tho!). I did put the onions directly in the dressing pan over low heat and let them simmer down to take some of the bite out. Would be lovely with toasted slivered almonds for crunch, wonderful with grilled chicken.

Agree with the suggestion to cook the onion down a bit. Maybe make extra sauce

Really didn’t love the flavours. Don’t know if my red onion was particularly pungent, but the raw onion was overpowering. Lots of work and dishes, not much pay off.

This is the second TikTok salad I was duped into trying because it was viral and it was such a disappointment. Waaaaaaay too much work and while all of the components separate Loy were good, when combined together was just blah. Way too much time, dishes, and ingredients to make it worth it. Skip this one.

generally pretty simple on the chopping and overall cooking. makes a lot of dishes however and does take over an hour to execute. the onions were a bit sharp, I’d probably cook them down in the vinegar and salt next time and then add the honey water sage rosemary mixture.

Absolutely fantastic, wouldn't change a thing

Yummy but a lot of work for a salad. Made it with chicken. Better as a side dish for me, but overall enjoyed and feeling very healthy. Probably won't make again.

Fantastic!!

Yes, I did burn the quinoa. It wasn't crisping (probably due to me using too much oil/not leaving enough room on the pan), so I hit it with the broiler for a few minutes and then uh it was too crisp. 😅 Still delicious though!

I added some sweet potatoes and it was so good!
