Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F/200C. Dice the squash into bite-size pieces, toss in a little olive oil and either allspice or salt and pepper, and roast approximately 40min until starting to brown on the edges and tender to knifepoint. Leave to cool - this can be done ahead of time and the squash stored in the fridge for a day or two.
- If starting with uncooked quinoa, cook according to instructions, usually with around 1 cup of water for ½cup uncooked quinoa, bring to boil and simmer around 10-15 minutes until water absorbed and grains 'bloom' little curls. This, too, can be done ahead and the quinoa stored in the fridge a couple days.
- When ready to make up salad, roughly chop the arugula and peel and grate the beet.
- Whisk together the oil, lime juice, honey and salt and pepper until well combined, or shake in a small jar. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the quinoa, add in the beet and arugula and mix. Add the squash, cranberries and pumpkin seeds and toss gently to combine.
