Because you guys liked my lentil and squash warm salad, here’s another one.
Quinoa, roasted delicata squash, and Brussels sprouts all tossed in a maple-Dijon dressing with pears, pecans, and pomegranate. Cozy, colorful, and very fall. 🍂

Quinoa, Delicata Squash & Brussels Sprouts Fall Salad

Serves: 4  
Prep Time: 15 minutes  
Cook Time: 25 minutes  

Ingredients

Salad:
	•	1 cup cooked quinoa
	•	1 medium delicata squash, halved, seeded, and sliced into half-moons
	•	2 cups Brussels sprouts, thinly sliced
	•	1 ripe pear, diced
	•	½ cup pomegranate arils
	•	½ cup toasted pecans (or walnuts)
	•	2 tablespoons olive oil
	•	Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Dressing:
	•	3 tablespoons olive oil
	•	1½ tablespoons apple cider vinegar
	•	1 tablespoon maple syrup
	•	1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
	•	½ small shallot, finely minced
	•	Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet. 
Arrange delicata squash slices and thinly sliced Brussels sprouts on the sheet, keeping them slightly separated. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the squash is tender and caramelized and the Brussels sprouts are golden and crisp on the edges.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, minced shallot, salt, and pepper until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
In a large serving bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, roasted vegetables, diced pear, pecans and pomegranate arils. 
Pour over the maple-Dijon dressing and gently toss to coat everything evenly.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
