While our House of Q friends are meat-enthusiasts, their sauces and rubs fantastic on grilled vegetables and in dressings! We were happy to host House of Q in store this weekend for a demo. To celebrate, we wanted to share this great recipe to get you grilling with today in this excellent weather.

Instructions:

In a bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients. Refrigerate the dressing in an airtight container until needed.
In a large salad bowl, toss the kale and fennel with olive oil and the Peppered Bovine seasoning.
Preheat your grill to medium heat and grill the fennel and peppers until it is tender. Start grilling the kale until it has taken on some colour and some parts have become limp meanwhile other areas crisp. Cut the vegetables into bite size pieces and toss in a bowl to blend.
Add the vinaigrette and toss once again. Serve family style.
A nice addition or garnish for this salad is pumpkin or sunflower seeds.
