Kale Salad with Butternut Squash & Pomegranate Vinaigrette

Prepare lentils to package directions. You want them to be al dente for salads. Cooking for 10-15 minutes is perfect.
Roast the beets with this recipe https://marlameridith.com/recipe/perfectly-roasted-beets/
I soak my chopped red onions in some lemon juice and water before adding to my salads. It helps make the flavor more mild.
In a saucepan bring the agave and water to a low boil & whisk together. Let cool. Add the lime juice & the tequila. Pour onto the fruit, combine well. Top with chopped mint & lime wedges.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit with the rack in the middle. Clean all veggies, pat dry & chop accordingly. Toss with olive oil, garlic, salt & pepper. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the veggies are roasted & tender.
Put all dressing ingredients into a food processor or blender & combine well. Season with salt & pepper to taste. Makes 1/2 cup of dressing.
In a large bowl add a few cups of spinach, some quinoa & roasted veggies. Using a pair of tongs toss with dressing.
Plate & top with walnuts and mozzarella.
You can make the roasted veggies & dressing the day ahead of when you need it!
