Ingredients
    2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
    1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
    1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
    1/2 teaspoon chili powder
    1/2 teaspoon sea salt
    ground black pepper to taste
    1/2 butternut squash - peeled, seeded, and cubed
    1 zucchini, cubed
    2 cups water
    1 cup quinoa
    2 cups chopped lacinato kale
    2 cups chopped Italian parsley
    1/2 cup raisins
    1/2 cup chopped red onion
    1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
    1 tablespoon honey
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
    Combine 1 tablespoon olive oil, cumin, oregano, chili powder, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Add butternut squash and zucchini; toss until coated. Place butternut squash and zucchini onto a baking sheet.
    Bake in the preheated oven, tossing once half way through, until soft, about 25 minutes. Remove from oven; cool.
    Bring water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and cool.
    Combine remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, butternut squash, zucchini, quinoa, kale, parsley, raisins, red onion, apple cider vinegar, and honey in a bowl; toss until salad is combined.
