Roasted Broccoli Quinoa Salad

A delicious roasted broccoli quinoa salad with roasted sweet potatoes, kale and a flavorful lemon dressing. Great as a gluten-free vegetarian main!

Good morning! I hope you had a lovely time ringing in the New Year. After spending New Year’s Eve in Vegas last year, I was ready for something a tad more low-key this year. We ended up spending the evening with the same couple we went to Vegas with — made dinner at their house, did a champagne toast at midnight, danced and played foosball. It was perfect!

I have two cookie recipes I still need to share with you all but since I know I’m probably not the only one craving veggies and nutritious food after the holidays, I figured today would be a good day for a veggie packed recipe.

I have to thank my boss for sending me the original recipe that I used as an inspiration when making this dish. She and I have the same taste when it comes to food and she’s always finding some of the best recipes so whenever she mentions that she made something that was delicious, I pretty much immediately put it on my to-make list.

This salad is packed with many so many healthy foods and given that it involves many of my favorite foods, I knew I was going to fall in love with it. You can never go wrong with roasted veggies and I love the fact that the kale is roasted too and gets a little crunchy, making it like having kale chips in your salad.

It tastes wonderful warm, right after mixing the warm roasted veggies with the quinoa, but it also stores well in the fridge and tastes great cold as well. I made one batch, ate it for dinner one night and then ate it for lunch and snacks several days in a row.
