Instructions
- In a sauce pan, cook the quinoa according to package intructions. Once completed cooking, let cool for 10-15 minutes.
- Peel and dice a butternut squash. Coat with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and some salt and pepper. Roast in the oven at 425°F F for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once completed cooking, let squash cook for 10-15 minutes.
- While the grain & roasted butternut squash is cooking, get to chopping. Slice the apple, halve the grapes, chop the celery, and dice the onion.
- Add spinach to large salad bowl.
- Top with quinoa, butternut squash, onions, apples, grapes, pumpkin seeds, cranberries, and cheese.
- In a measuring cup, combine all dressing ingredients together. Whisk for 20-30 seconds until fully integrated. Drizzle over salad and toss together.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes prior to serving. This allows the all of the ingredients to absorb the dressing. It makes it super flavorful!! Enjoy!
Notes
- The longest part of this recipe prep is cooking the quinoa and roasting the butternut squash. Be sure to start with these two steps & prep the other ingredients while they're cooking.
- Roasted sweet potatoes can be substituted for roasted butternut squash. Make this dairy free or nut free by simply removing the cheese/seeds.
- Want to make this more of a meal? Add a delicious protein of your choice.
- If you don't want to make your own dressing, I recommend Ken's Sweet White Vidalia Onion or Panera Bread's Fuji Apple or Poppyseed dressing. As always, make this dish so YOU enjoy it!
