In a small blender, combine together the basil, olive oil, almond milk, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, mustard, salt, and pepper, and blend until smooth.

Pour the dressing over the kale in a large bowl. Mix together with your hands, gently massaging the greens for three minutes. This massaging part is key.

Then toss in the quinoa and scallions. Mix and season once more with additional salt if needed.
