Kale Caesar Quinoa Salad

I don't know if you have tried a Kale Caesar before....they are AMAZING.....usually full of bacon and chopped up eggs (you can't really go wrong with that, right?).  But I found this recipe and it is one-upping the Kale Caesar by adding quinoa.  How trendy right????  But I wanted to share because it looks REALLY good (don't let the anchovy paste scare you away....I have used it before in recipes and it isn't fishy)!

Kale Caesar Quinoa Salad
2 tablespoons hot water
2 tablespoons canola mayonnaise 
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon anchovy paste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 garlic clove, grated
1.5 ounces shaved Parmesan cheese, divided (about 6 tablespoons)
5 cups thinly sliced stemmed Lacinato kale
1 1/2 cups cooked quinoa
1 1/2 cups chopped skinless, boneless rotisserie chicken breast 
2 tablespoons chopped toasted walnuts
 
Combine first 7 ingredients in a bowl, stirring well with a whisk. Stir in 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese. Add kale, quinoa, and chicken; toss to coat. Top with remaining 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese and walnuts.
