We’re finally getting some warm weather and the farmers market is stocked with beautiful local produce. It’s salad season is what I’m saying.
I like to make this salad the night before I plan on eating it (when the house is cool) so I don’t overheat the kitchen and so the flavours can really meld. It’s a big, hearty salad that can definitely pass as a meal.

There is a bit of prep work involved in making this salad but it’s worth it, I promise.
This salad is delicious when first prepared but it’s something really special if you give it a night for the flavours to really come together. You get a double punch of protein from the quinoa and the black beans, and the sweet potatoes add a creamy richness.
