Butternut squash salad is a light & healthy meal which I have found to be quite fulling.

This is a beautiful & flavorfully distinctive butternut squash salad. It has a mixture of hot & cold which makes it perfect at any time of day. Butternut squash has a marvelous vitamin A substance.

I have to be honest, I was not a salad person & I would have rather had a big unhealthy meal than setting for a salad. I’m glad to report that I’ve created this astounding recipe, which is by far the best salad I have ever tasted.

Step-by-Step Instructions

7 Steps

Step 1
Fry the butternut squash. (Click here for the method).
Step 2
Wash & chop fresh lettuce, as per how much you require. (I would recommend around 300 grams).
Step 3
Season the lettuce with a pinch of salt. (Not a lot as the feta has quite a bit of salt).
Step 4
Cut fried butternut into cubes & mix with the lettuce. (The butternut should be hot as this creates the melting taste in the salad).
Step 5
Crumble 4 blocks of feta cheese & sprinkle over the butternut squash & lettuce.
Step 6
Garnish with spring onions.
Step 7
Serve as is with baked potato on the side or left over fried butternut squash.
