Cook quinoa according to the package directions.

Approximately 5 minutes before quinoa has fully cooked and just a small amount of water is left, add the diced onion and chopped kale to the pot, and continue cooking, covered.

In a blender, combine the tahini, lemon juice, water, and sea salt, and blend until creamy. Can add a bit more water if consistency is not yet creamy, and you can also spoon some of the oil from the tahini jar in to make the blend creamier.

Pour the quinoa and vegetable mixture into a large bowl, and then mix in the tahini mixture. The heat from the vegetables and grain will help the tahini mixture spread evenly throughout as you mix well. Serve immediately or cover and leave at room temperature until ready to serve.
