Method

Tarragon Vinaigrette: In small bowl, whisk together tarragon, vinegar, honey, garlic, salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in oil. Set aside.

Salad: Cook quinoa according to package instructions; uncover. Meanwhile, in large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; sauté shiitake mushrooms, cremini mushrooms and shallot until mushrooms are beginning to turn golden, about 4 minutes. Add asparagus and sauté just until tender, about 3 minutes.

Remove from heat; stir in quinoa and two-thirds of the dressing. Scrape into large bowl; let cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Add kale, Parmesan and remaining dressing; toss to coat.
