Winter Quinoa Salad

SAVE ✓ SAVED ADD TO MEAL PLAN PRINT VIEW IN ENGLISH

When we developed this recipe in kitchen hours, we wanted to feature pomegranate, winter squash, and collard greens. Added to quinoa with a tasty dressing, these winter favorites create a great salad to share with friends and family. Leftovers are yummy the next day hot or cold, making this a great recipe for lunch packing too!

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spread squash evenly on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt. Roast in the oven for 40 minutes, turning halfway through. While squash is roasting, prepare the rest of the salad components. In a small sauce pan, cook quinoa according to package instructions. In a large saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add onion and garlic and saute until translucent. Add collard greens and 1 teaspoon of salt and saute until greens are wilted. In a small bowl, whisk together orange juice, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt and set aside. In a large serving bowl, combine roasted squash, cooked quinoa, sauteed collard greens, and pomegranate arils. Pour dressing over the mixture and stir.
