  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.

    Roasted butternut squash is delicious!!! Try substituting the olive oil for Rapeseed - its better for you - lots more omega 3, half the saturated fat of olive oil and this recipe has a lot of olive oil in it......which is the only downside.....so the rapeseed substitution makes me feel better about it AND the rapeseed adds a lovely nutty flavour to the dish which works perfectly with the other ingredients!

    I made this recipe as is. Except I did half ingredients and it still made loads! It went down a storm!!! Just had a girls night and I served it with salmon, tomato quiche (good food recipe) and some plain salad. A real flavour but not spicy.....some of them didnt even realise there was chili in it. I made it the day before I served it - the plus it the squash really marinaded in the dressing - though perhaps it was slightly soft for my liking. Either way - a hit - there is none left. Highly reccommended.

    This fantastic salad is now a staple in our house, great with roast pork, and any leftovers are yummy as lunch the next day! We've also made it to go alongside haloumi cheese for veggies, just as nice!

    delicious! I made this with Quinoa instead of Puy Lentils and pine nuts instead of seasame seeds (couldn't find any) I added some chorizo and saussages for the meat-eaters. I also roasted some pumpkin as well as Squatternut Bosh which gave a lovely colour gradient!!! Totally delish!!!

    Absolutely love this recipe....fantastic flavours and more filling than you would expect. I served it with plain griddled pork steaks, but would also be good with some griddled chicken breasts......definatley a firm favourite!

    This is absolutely delicious and easy to make too. Not only does it look lovely but it's very healthy too. Brilliant for both vegetarians and meat eaters. I made it exactly as the recipe says and we ate it with poached salmon fillets. Would be suitable for a packed lunch or a picnic too. I used a Merchant Gourmet pouch of ready cooked Puy lentils. These are so tasty!

    Excellent. Dressing is delicious - I left out the honey. I cut squash into wedges rather than cubes because I thought it made for better presentation. I roasted for 35-40 min - 25 min not long enough. I think it would be great with a bit of soft goat's cheese.

    Fab salad to go with your BBQs. I don't make the lentils as they are filling and I always struggle to stop them getting too mushy :) Always get complimented on this, it's delicious

    A super, super recipe! I used less than 2 kg of butternut and upped the lentil quantity. I also followed someone's suggestion and used tinned puy lentils. Worked perfectly well. A 5-star recipe that went down incredibly well!
