How to Make Quinoa with Mushrooms and Butternut Squash Salad
- cook Quinoa as directed. I prefer putting it in a microwave safe bowl with the olive oil and water and cooking it for 20 minutes, stirring after 10 minutes and continuing.Fluff with a fork and set aside. You could use a 20 oz bag of frozen butternut squash or peel and cube a medium one. place in the oven with tablespoon of brown sugar or coconut sugar and pat of butter and cook til tender.Saute mushrooms in a small fry pan with teaspoon of olive oil or Pam.
- line the bottom of a casserole dish with spinach leaves. Top with drained can of beets.Then layer the cooked Quinoa and mushrooms. Top with spoonfuls of goat cheese .Finally add the butternut squash. This can be covered and served later heated or cold.
