Method

A delicious autumn salad for the turn of the season. Use sweet and golden roasted butternut squash tossed with spicy rocket, fresh herbs and torn, creamy buffalo mozzarella all covered with a spicy honey and vinegar dressing.

  1. Preheat oven to Gas Mark 4, 190°C, fan 170°C. Place squash pieces on large baking tray. Toss with 1tbsp of the olive oil and some salt and pepper. Bake for 20 minutes, until golden (remember to shake the pan at about halftime to keep it from sticking).
  2. Heat remaining oil in a pan. Add the garlic and chilli and cook until golden. Remove from the heat and pour in the vinegar and honey. Whisk together and set aside.
  3. Transfer the warm pumpkin to a large serving dish lined with the rocket. Sprinkle over the chopped mint, then rip the mozzarella into large chunks and arrange over. Pour the warm dressing over the salad and serve.
