Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

nonstick cooking spray
1 medium sweet potato, peeled and chopped
½ cup sliced Brussels sprouts
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 cup cold cooked quinoa
1 (8 ounce) can sliced beets
⅓ cup sweetened dried cranberries
½ cup white vinegar
⅓ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon minced onion
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dry mustard
½ cup crumbled feta cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • Place sweet potato and Brussels sprouts on the prepared baking sheet. Pour olive oil over top and season with salt and pepper.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until tender and lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes, checking every 5 minutes to make sure veggies aren't overcooking. Remove from the oven and let cool, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • While veggies are cooling, place quinoa in a mixing bowl and stir in beets and cranberries.
  • Combine vinegar, sugar, onion, poppy seeds, salt, and dry mustard in a bowl for dressing.
  • Stir cooled vegetables into quinoa mixture. Add dressing and feta cheese and mix gently. Can be served at room temperature or cold.
