  1. Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Put the squash on a baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil and season. Roast for 20 minutes or until tender, shaking the tray a couple of times to keep it from sticking. Simmer the lentils for about 15 minutes or until al dente, then drain.
  2. Whisk together the dressing ingredients. Put the rocket in a shallow serving bowl and arrange the lentils and squash on top. Pour the dressing over and top with sesame seeds and spring onion.

    More filling than you'd expect. The dressing is particularly nice and could be used on other salads.

    easy to make and delicious. eat this whenever i need a bit of 5 a day. i use the dressing portions for one serving and it tastes great! when i'm out of honey i use sweet chilli sauce and i use a tiny bit of tabasco instead of chopped chilli.

    Loving the halloumi, blue cheese and walnut ideas. Will try. I found that 20 minutes wasn't enough, by the way. More like 35.

    This really is a gorgeous recipe - you won't be disappointed. Use any squash you've got and I like to add a bit of garlic to the roasting pan too. Agree that 25 mins may not be enough time in the oven depending on how big your pieces of squash are and how sweet and soft you want it to be on the plate. The dressing is amazing. It's definitely more filling than you'd expect. If you want to add a bit of extra weight, sausages work very well.

    I really liked this! I also found the cooking time to be slightly short, however. The best part of the recipe is the dressing -- fiery, sweet and sour stuff!

    Excellent. Similar to another couple of recipes I make except they have either pecans, walnuts or pine-nuts added and blue cheese, parmesan or feta + more rocket: but no dressing or just olive oil. The dressing with this recipe is a delicious and unusual earth savoury fusion of Italian balsamic and Japanese soy sauce, will be using it for other salads and I think it would be great with something oriental in style like chicken with spring onions, sesame seeds and ginger, or even with sea bass? However if adding cheese to the Roasted butternut squash salad recipe above then I would leave out the dressing as I think that combination would be horrible?!

    I used soya beans instead of lentils and served with pan fried mackerel, dusted in seasoned flour, which made this meal v.filling, but was delicious.

    This is a fantastic meal, my boyfriend gave it 10/10! I would say that it would make a starter for 4 people or a main course for 2. The flavours really compliment each other. We added pea shoots to to the salad bed and we substituted honey for agave syrup which makes it vegan!

    This was a bit to sweet for my taste, I like the suggestion of adding halloumi or other salty cheese, such as feta. I would also leave the honey out of the dressing next time.

    I used a tin of lentils as a cheat but these worked really well. I did not add spring onions but added red onions to the squash and roasted that together. Finished off with a handful of chopped coriander - lovely! The recipe did not say whether this salad should be eaten hot, warm or cold. I mixed the squash and lentils with the dressing and coriander and left it to reach room temperature before serving. It worked for me, everyone commented on how nice it was, even the sceptics!

    I just made this for my lunch and it was lovely! I didn't have any chillis and couldn't find my dried chillis but it was still lovely. The dressing was really nice, I used continental lentils instead of Puy and it worked well. Will definately make this again I can see it becoming one of my favourites.
