WILD ROCKET & ROASTED SQUASH SALAD WITH A WHIPPED FETA DRESSING

Directions

Pre-heat the oven to 180°C, remove the skin from the squash or butternut pumpkin and cut into bite sized pieces, toss with a little olive oil, garlic, rosemary and seasoning.

Arrange the squash on a lined roasting tray and cook for 12-15 minutes or until tender and starting to caramelise, set aside to cool a little.

In a small bowl whisk half the feta, yoghurt, lemon zest and juice until smooth and creamy then season to taste.  

Arrange the Wild Rocket on a serving platter or individual shallow bowls. Top with the warm roasted pumpkin, sprinkle with pine nuts and pomegranate seeds then crumble over the remaining feta and drizzle over dressing.
