Instructions
- In a medium sized saucepan bring 2 cups of salted water to a boil.
- Rinse and drain the quinoa then add it to the boiling water.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover and let the quinoa cook for about 15 minutes or until all the water is absorbed.
- Remove the quinoa from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.
- Prepare the cider vinaigrette and set aside.
- In a large bowl combine the cooled quinoa, roasted butternut squash, apple, green onion, baby kale, dried cranberries, almonds and pepitas.
- Mix in the desired amount of cider vinaigrette and season with kosher salt and fresh ground pepper as needed.
- Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
- If you plan to make the salad ahead of time, wait until just before serving to add in the toasted almonds so that they stay crunchy.
