Peel and chop the beets, drizzle of olive oil and roast on a baking sheet at 400ºF until tender, about 10-20 minutes depending on the size if pieces. Allow to cool.
Remove the stems from the kale and discard. Chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces; set aside in a large bowl.
In a small bowl, using a spoon mash the garlic with the salt to make a paste. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and orange zest. Add the garlic and oil mixture to the kale. Using your hands, tenderize the kale by gently massaging it. Mix in the quinoa.
