Fall Harvest Quinoa Salad

4.7 stars

Overall a pretty good salad, but like most of Half Baked Harvest recipes, the flavors sometimes taste muddied. BUT, I would make this again...

Ingredients: quinoa, delicata or acorn squash, baby kale, apple, pomegranate arils, roasted pistachios or toasted pumpkin seeds, halloumi cheese, avocado, maple syrup, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, olive oil, Kosher salt, pepper

Dressing Ingredients: tahini, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, turmeric, olive oil, Kosher salt, pepper

Tips:

• Used BOTH delicata and also acorn squash. Will cut them thicker next time so there is more "bite" to them
• Didn't use pomegranate arils (grocery store was out!)
• I thought the baby kale might need to be sauteed so I did -- next time I won't
• Used roasted pistachios
• Make 2/3 of the dressing recipe
• Next time, need to add more heat -- more cayenne and/or add red pepper flakes
