Directions

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add sweet potatoes and salt, stir to coat sweet potatoes with oil and saute until tender yet firm to the bite, about 10 minutes. Transfer sweet potatoes to a plate and season with more salt.

  2. Saute onion and garlic in the same skillet until softened, 4 to 5 minutes.

  3. Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add asparagus, cover, and steam until tender, about 4 minutes. Cut asparagus into 1/2-inch pieces.

  4. Bring water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and water has been absorbed, 10 to 15 minutes.

  5. Toss sweet potatoes, onion-garlic mixture, asparagus, and quinoa together in a bowl, cool to room temperature. Add cashews and top with more olive oil and salt.
