Late summer means squash is everywhere, and this recipe gives it a chance to shine. Cooked with lemon, quinoa, fresh dill, and a little parmesan, it's bright and flavorful with just enough depth to make it a real meal or it can work as a hearty side dish.

Beyond flavor, it's the kind of food that works for you: quinoa brings plant-based protein and staying power, squash adds hydration and key nutrients, and together they build a bowl that's colorful and balanced.

Serve it warm on a weeknight or chilled the next day straight from the fridge - either way, it's a dish built for this time of year. Show us how you plate it!
