Recipe by Dietz & Watson This hearty grain salad with browned sausage, carrots, and butternut squash is tossed with quinoa for a delicious all-in-one meal.

Ingredients

3/4 cup uncooked quinoa 1 1/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth 3 tablespoons olive oil 6 links Dietz & Watson Buffalo Chicken Sausage, cut into chunks 1 medium onion, diced 2 cups butternut squash, cut into 1/2-inch cubes 1 cup shredded carrot 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 medium red bell pepper, diced 1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped

Instructions

Put the quinoa and chicken broth in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until the liquid is absorbed, 12 to 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork. While quinoa cooks, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer sausage to a plate. Add another tablespoon oil to pan, then add the onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the squash and carrots and cook about 5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-firm. In a large bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, remaining oil, cumin, salt and black pepper. Add quinoa, sausage, squash-carrot and onion mixture and mix. Chill in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes or up to two days. When ready to serve, stir in the parsley.
