SQUASH, LENTIL & PICKLED RANCHSLAW SALAD

RECIPE: ALI DALY @ THE MESSY CHEFFY

Directions

Step 1: Pickle the LeaderBrand Ranchslaw

In a pot add the water, vinegar, salt, sugar, bay leaves and peppercorns. Bring to the boil. Remove from the heat. Add the slaw into a clean jar or bowl. Pour the picking liquid over. Allow to cool.

Step 2: Cook the Squash

Slice the squash in half, remove the seeds. It’s not necessary to peel as the skin is delicious and edible. Slice the squash half into 8 pieces. Lay the squash onto baking tray, drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Cook in a preheated oven at 200 degrees for 20 minutes, till soft.

Step 3: Prepare LeaderBrand Prue’n Ezy Baby Beetroot and lentils

Chop the beetroot into smaller pieces. Ensure the cooked lentils are completely dry. In a bowl mix the beetroot, lentils, dill, salt, pepper and olive oil together.

Step 4: To make the dressing

Combine the tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup into a bowl. Slowly whisk in the water until creamy and pourable. Taste for seasoning salt and pepper. Adjust the flavour as needed, more maple if it is too bitter and more lemon if it is too sweet.

Step 5: To assemble the salad

Drain the pickling liquid from the slaw, squeezing out any excess liquid. Add the roasted squash, pickled slaw, beetroot, dill, lentils, red onions and mesclun into a bowl. Pour over the dressing and gently mix.
