Hearty Vegetarian Roasted Squash, Feta & Almond Salad

This is a great vegetarian salad that uses roasted squash. The creamy, salty feta balances out the sweet flavor of the pea shoots, and the toasted almonds offer some much-welcomed crunch!

Chef’s Tips:

  • Remember that the cooking time will depend on how big you cut the chunks of the squash. To test, just pierce a piece with a fork, and it should be completely softened once cooked.
  • A good-quality olive oil makes the world of difference!

  • Spread the diced butternut squash cubes onto a large baking tray lined with baking paper. Drizzle over one tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss to evenly coat.
  • Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until tender. Set aside to cool a little.
  • In the meantime, toast the flaked almonds in a hot, dry pan until golden. Leave to cool a little, then roughly chop.
  • To serve, toss the pea shoots in the remaining olive oil and season with salt.
  • Divide between two salad bowls and top with the roasted butternut squash. Crumble over the feta and garnish with the toasted almonds.
