Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 220C / 200C / gas mark 7 / 425F.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Place the quinoa in a large bowl, add the avocado, feta, salad leaves and dressing and toss everything together to mix thoroughly.
  5. 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.
