Ingredients
Squash, Quinoa, Avocado and Feta Salad
- 2 tablespoons olive or rapeseed oil
- 800 g butternut squash chopped into 1cm cubes
- 200 g cherry tomatoes halved
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Black pepper to taste
- 250 g ready cooked quinoa (or cook 100g dried quinoa)
- 2 avocados chopped into 1cm/½inch cubes
- 150 g mixed salad leaves (I used spinach, watercress and rocket)
- 200 g feta cheese crumbled
Honey, Mustard and Cider Vinegar Dressing
- 4 teaspoons wholegrain mustard
- 4 tablespoons cider vinegar (or lemon juice, or white wine vinegar)
- 8 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- ½ teaspoons salt
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 220C / 200C / gas mark 7 / 425F.
- Place the butternut squash and cherry tomatoes in a roasting tray and drizzle over 2 tablespoons of oil, ½ a teaspoon of salt and a few twists of black pepper. Toss the vegetables in the oil and seasoning and place in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
- Next, mix together the dressing ingredients. Simply place all the dressing ingredients into a clean jam jar, screw on the lid and shake until everything is combined.
- Place the quinoa in a large bowl, add the avocado, feta, salad leaves and dressing and toss everything together to mix thoroughly.
- When the squash and tomatoes are cooked, add them to the salad and toss everything together again. Serve straight away or place in boxes in the fridge for work lunches.
