Recipe Summary Quinoa, Butternut Squash, And Kale Salad

This is a go-to type of recipe I use a lot. The seasonings are pretty great and can be used for sweet potato fries and a fish marinade too. You can vary this recipe by adding your favorite grain, or bean! You can also use whichever herb you enjoy.

2 cups water
