    This salad is delicious. The crispy white beans add such a nice texture. I also love the subtle sweetness from the squash. Yum. It is also full of protein thanks to the addition of quinoa and white beans. This gives the salad a balanced amino acid profile. The dressing is a simple apple cider vinaigrette.
