Prepare the quinoa: Cook quinoa according to package instructions. Fluff with a fork and set aside to cool slightly.
Blanch the edamame: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add edamame and cook for 3-4 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.
Massage the kale: In a large bowl, add chopped kale, drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Massage for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together remaining olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper.

Drizzle and garnish: Pour the dressing over the bowl and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Toss gently before serving.
Chef's Tips
- Kale Tip: Massaging kale breaks down its fibers, making it tender and easier to digest.
- Protein Boost: Add grilled chicken or tofu for extra protein.
- Meal Prep: This bowl stores well in the fridge for up to 2 days. Keep dressing separate until ready to serve.
- Nutty Crunch: Top with toasted almonds or walnuts for added texture.
- Spice It Up: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
