Warm Red Quinoa & Squash Salad
- 1/4 cup red quinoa
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 1/2 cups chopped, peeled butternut squash (3/4" chunks)
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- 8 grape tomatoes, halved lengthwise
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil (loosely packed)
- Freshly ground pepper
- Combine the quinoa, water, and salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over high heat. Reduce heat to low, stir in squash, cover, and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the quinoa has popped and the squash is soft. (You may need to add another tablespoon or two of water, depending on how juicy your squash is.)
- Remove from heat and fold in the olive oil, tomatoes, feta, and basil. Season to taste with freshly ground pepper.
