Not exactly your typical salad, this one brings the healthy quinoa on the main stage, along with avocado, arugula leaves, and roasted squash. Speaking of squash, we are big fans of it, and we’re planning on using it for lots of winter-inspired recipes. Give the salad a fresh and exotic taste, by adding a few fruits on top, like orange slices and pomegranate seeds.
