Written by emilyc

Roasted butternut squash and quinoa salad

Among the many wonderful things about fall is the ability to cook with the best vegetables the season has to offer – I’m talking about you, butternut squash. It just doesn’t seem right to eat it at any other time besides fall, so once harvest season arrives, I love to take full advantage of my butternut squash-eating opportunities, and this healthy salad is a delicious way to do so.
