Lentil, Squash and Feta Salad image

A little something I threw together one night. Great for a vegetarian meal. You can add some browned sausages on the side or sliced in the salad for meat lovers.

Categories     Lentil

Time 50m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 butternut squash, peeled and thickly sliced
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, minced
1 tablespoon cumin
salt and pepper, to taste
10 cherry tomatoes, halved
250 g uncooked brown lentils, washed
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
50 g salad leaves (rocket or lambs lettuce)
75 g feta, sliced
salt and pepper
1 onion, sliced (optional)
6 links pork sausage (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 200°C.
  • Toss the squash with the olive oil and seasoning and roast in a baking tray for 30-40 minutes until tender, stirring occasionally.
  • About 10 minutes before the squash is done, add in the cherry tomatoes.
  • Meanwhile, cook the lentils according to the package instructions.
  • Drain and let cool slightly.
  • Mix with the olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar and brown sugar.
  • Just before serving mix in the salad leaves and feta. Season to taste.
  • Arrange the squash over the top. You may have a fair bit of squash left if you use a large squash. You can use this in other salads later or make it into a soup.
  • If you like, you can also fry some sausages and onions and serve them alongside the salad. Or slice the sausages and mix them, once cooked, with the lentils.

This salad was easy to make and very delicious. The lentils were cooked perfectly, and the squash was roasted to perfection. The feta cheese added a nice salty flavor, and the dressing was light and tangy. I'll definitely be making this salad again.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover roasted squash. I had some leftover from a previous meal, and it worked perfectly in this salad. The lentils added a nice protein boost, and the feta cheese was the perfect finishing touch.
