It works as a main dish salad but a side salad too. It has a triple dose of protein, quinoa plus black beans plus still more from the tangy feta. That makes the salad extra-filling and satisfying, even a half cup at a time. This is a useful "concept recipe" just by swapping out beans and seasonal vegetables and even cheeses. Here I've used late-summer vegetables but it's easy to imagine spring and summer versions too. <img style="border-width:0; padding:0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzACV8LsBVFY4bLJGj7y-Mf6G6tGcdsCos21Ui2cE0e1VoxGVgTf6I-VoTuqAK6Jku6GIN51GVRS_hBtz_zZzQGTSsKphDJ8O60X-k3_Q6bngTMO_S5Tu4-L9PFg0SEKAf2Muhng/s200/vvimg.gif" height="13" width="13" alt=""><br><br>

It's zucchini bread, flecked with barely detectable summer squash. But it's also pumpkin bread, rich in color. And it's a spice cake, packed with cinnamon and nutmeg! I love the season-crossing combination of zucchini and pumpkin in the same loaf, a nod to bidding summer farewell and welcoming the cooler days of fall. It's lovely on Day One but even better on Day Two. Better still? I've given the recipe a healthy makeover, cutting calories by half – though you'd never guess! <img style="border-width:0; padding:0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzACV8LsBVFY4bLJGj7y-Mf6G6tGcdsCos21Ui2cE0e1VoxGVgTf6I-VoTuqAK6Jku6GIN51GVRS_hBtz_zZzQGTSsKphDJ8O60X-k3_Q6bngTMO_S5Tu4-L9PFg0SEKAf2Muhng/s200/vvimg.gif" height="13" width="13" alt=""><br><br>
