Apple, pomegranate,quinoa, kale salad with curried maple dressing.

1 cup cooked quinoa
1 head finely sliced kale
1 apple, diced
arils from 1 pomegranate
1/4 cup seeds or nuts (used toasted chopped pitsachios)
1/4 cup your favorite cheese (used roquefort)
Dressing
2 Tbsp cider vinegar
2 Tbsp olive oil
1Tbsp maple syrup
2 tsp dijon mustard
1/2 tsp curry powder
salt and pepper as needed

Shake up dressing ingredients and toss with the salad, adding cheese last, just to keep it from breaking apart.  The dressing is really very tasty and complements the tang of the cheese with the sweet of the pomegranate.  BTW am easy way to get the arils out is to cut the pomegranate in half and hold the cut side in your hand over a bowl then pound on the top side with a heavy item.  They come out in a flash.
