A warm Winter salad, rich is goodness, earthy flavours and seasonal treats. Perfect as a light supper on it's own or served with some griddled halloumi or even a juicy pork chop for some added protein and bulk.

Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Heat your oven to 200oC/180oCfan /gas 6. Place the diced butternut squash on a baking tray and red onion, cut into wedges and the garlic squashed, but left in their skins. Toss with 1/3rd of the Fresh dressing, and the runny honey and roast for 35-40 mins until caramelised and tender.

Step 2

Remove the squash and onions from the oven, squeeze the garlic from their skins and scatter over grains and the drained and torn *black olives. Give it a good stir, season with **salt* and pepper and pop it back into the oven to heat through for a few minutes. Empty the kale onto a separate baking sheet. Season with a sprinkle of salt and pop into the hot oven (top shelf) to join the squash and grains. Roast until slightly charred and crispy (6-8 minutes). You might need to give it a stir and put it back in if the middle is a bit limp but the edges are crisping up.

Step 3

Remove the squash, grains and olives from the oven and while warm, dress with the French dressing. Place onto a serving platter or between 4 bowls, top with the crispy kale and a drizzle more dressing, if you fancy.
