I wanted to share a recent discovery for making quinoa salad a little more low-carb! It takes a little bit of time, but if you make it in bulk it will last for a few days in the fridge. Basically, it's replacing your usual carb with caramelised butternut squash, which I like to add in with a little bit of quinoa.
You will need a food processor to blitz the butternut squash, but you could probably grate it instead if you have a lot of time and the right equipment. I use half a butternut squash, seeds removed then blitz it for 30-40 seconds in the food processor.
I then put this into a pan with some oil and let it slowly caramelise! The flesh will start to go a yellow colour as it cooks - if you like the caramelised taste you can add a little sugar, too.
This usually takes around 20-30 minutes to get nice and soft, and I cook quinoa separately alongside this before putting them together - SO EASY!

I ate mine this time with kale, spinach, tomatoes, spring onions and feta. So tasty!
