Instructions
  1. prepare Spicy Mint Sauce: in a food processor, blend mint, jalapeño, garlic, lemon juice, cumin and olive oil, season to taste with salt
  2. heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat, gently toss squash and cherry tomatoes with just enough olive oil to lightly coat (about 1 or 2 teaspoons)
  3. grill squash and tomatoes until fork tender, turning a few times as needed (but allow to grill undisturbed part of the time to get those nice grill marks!), remove from heat and season to taste with salt + black pepper
  4. assembly: to each plate add some of the sauce, then divide the quinoa, squash and tomatoes evenly; top with extra chopped fresh herbs for garnish, enjoy warm or at room temp
