1 butternut squash, peeled and diced
1 red onion, peeled and diced
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 cup quinoa
2 cups vegetable broth (or water)
2 cups chopped spinach
2/3 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup pecans
Dressing:
1 cup orange juice
1/4 cup olive oil
1 Tablespoon honey
salt and pepper to taste
Put squash and onion in a large mixing bowl. Toss with oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on a large baking sheet and roast for 20 to 30 minutes at 400 degrees.
Meanwhile, combine quinoa and vegetable broth in sauce pan. Bring to a boil and then lower heat to simmer. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
Combine cooled squash, onion and quinoa. Combine in large bowl with spinach, cranberries and pecans.
In a mason jar, combine dressing ingredients and shake. Pour on salad and mix well a few hours before serving. (This is a salad best served at room temperature in my humble opinion.)
