Method

  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.

    Fantastic dressing - it would work with virtually anything that needs a robust flavoured accompaniment.

    I just made this today after salivating like one of Pavlov's dogs when I saw the photo! I exchanged the rocket for green beans and also added a few halved baby plum tomatoes and a sprinkling of coriander. It was absolutely delicious and I'll definitely be recreating it again! Before I served it up I thought the idea of added halloumi would be nice but to be honest it really doesn't need it and it would simply be adding unnecessary calories.

    This has become a favourite in our house! I'm not keen on raw (spring) onion, or raw garlic, so I fry some red onion and garlic instead. I also marinate cooked king prawns in the dressing and add chunks of feta to the salad - absolutely delicious!

    Just made this for lunch. I cut down the amount of olive oil suggested for the dressing as I am dieting but it didn't seem to affect the flavour at all. Dressing is really tasty and went really well with the squash and lentils. We had this as a warm salad...yum.

    Hm, I was expecting a lot from this recipe and maybe it is because I used wheat instead of lentils but the taste was not fantastic :/ Don't take me wrong, it is a tasty dish, but nothing above average for my taste. Next time I'll try lentils and I hope 'll change my mind :)

    My butter squash turned into mash and I just used green lentils. Fabulous!

    An absolutely superb salad! I didn't have enough rocket so I combined with spinach and it was just a dream! I served it with the duck breast with five spice powder, also from your site. Thanks for a great recipe!

    Delicious, I didn't have any puy lentils so used green and it worked fine. Love the dressing.

    I used this as base for a warm butternut squash and goats cheese salad using mixed baby leaves and without the lentils - amazing. The dressing is great, although I added a squeeze of lemon joice as well.
