Warm Winter Quinoa Salad

This recipe is a delicious, warm salad with roasted butternut squash, quinoa, browned chicken sausage, dried cranberries and goat cheese. I call it a warm salad because you can eat it hot! Unlike regular lettuce, massaged kale is the base that can be enjoyed warm or cold, making this the perfect winter “salad.” The flavors are so delicious, and of course it’s super easy too!

Notes

LAZY VERSION

  • Use a microwave quinoa packet instead of making your own quinoa.

SUBSTITUTIONS

  • Sub for chicken sausage: rotisserie chicken, pre cooked chicken

  • Sub for butternut squash: diced sweet potato, diced carrots, diced delicata squash

  • Sub for kale: arugula, but then I would def eat this salad cold, don’t dress it ahead of time, and store the lettuce separately!

  • Sub for quinoa: brown rice

  • Sub for goat cheese: gorgonzola, bleu cheese

  • Dairy free: omit the goat cheese

STORAGE

  • Allow everything to come to room temp and then store in airtight containers.I like using these containers.

REHEATING

  • You can eat this salad hot or cold, but I prefer to warm it up! I microwave it for 1 minute.

REDUCE FOOD WASTE

  • If you do 1.5 packages of sausage, freeze the other half. I just put in a ziploc bag, press all the air out, and stick in the freezer.

  • Leftover kale? Put it in the freezer! It’s perfect for adding to soups, chilis, stews, or even pasta dishes.
