Cooking Instructions
- 1
In a bowl, combine the butternut squash with the olive oil, rosemary and caster sugar and season with the salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 25 minutes or until soft. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
- 2
I cooked the pearl barley in the pressure cooker but it can also be cooked on the hob and simmered in the vegetable stock for an hour until the pearl barley has softened but slightly firm to the bite.
- 3
Brush the courgette slices with olive oil and fry gently in a hot griddle. Sprinkle with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- 4
Lightly fry the pine nuts and pumpkin seeds in a pan ensuring not to burn the seeds.
- 5
Chop the mint and add all the ingredients in a bowl and mix together.
- 6
Mix together the salad dressing and taste it to ensure you have a perfectly balanced dressing. Add more honey, lemon juice or soy sauce if required. Pour over the salad and season to taste with more freshly ground black pepper if needed. Serve warm.

Roasted pumpkin salad Roasted pumpkin salad
This salad was inspired by Britta. She's vegetarian and I wanted to make a heartier and more filling salad to go with our favorite starter-hummus, cashew cream cheese, Gorgonzola and cheddar with either flat bread or toasted baguette slices. The combination of salad and starter already makes for a full dinner.

Easy Kabocha Squash Salad Easy Kabocha Squash Salad
Since I keep a stock of frozen kabocha, I used it to make a salad.When mashing with the fork, try to achieve a smooth consistency!!Unsweetened yoghurt is also fine.Using the unsweetened type highlights the natural sweetness of the kabocha.With sweetened yoghurt, it becomes even sweeter and more delicious. For 2 servings. Recipe by Chi-zusan -

I treat clearing out the fridge like a personal "Mystery Box" challenge. Today I found the ingredients below so I made this. Unlikely that other folks have this precise combination of ingredients on hand so I offer this mostly in the spirit of creativity. Plus, it looks pretty, I think.

Simple Kabocha Squash Salad Simple Kabocha Squash Salad
This is a salad I made at a friend's house. It's actually her grandmother's recipe.I remember being surprised at how it seemed like a modern recipe--it's certainly not an old-fashioned taste!The trick is to boil the kabocha in consomme stock. Also take care not to over-boil the kabocha and thoroughly drain and cool it after boiling.You can add seasonings as you like.But it's plenty delicious as-is.Thanks to everyone's suggestions, I'm now using the water leftover from boiling to make soup! It's probably best to use quite a lot of water. Recipe by Kinakorin -
Beet Salad Beet Salad
This beet salad is a very different (read: healthier ;) ) version of the beet salad I knew growing up in Newfoundland. It takes a bit of time in terms of prepping your ingredients (mainly the beets and carrots), but it's worth it.This is a great summer salad to serve with a BBQ, or on its own as a lunch. You can adjust the ingredient amounts for lesser portions- this salad serves approximately 6-10 servings if used as a side dish.
