Trying to healthy up our weekday meals a bit so The Hubs is having Ceasar salad quite regularly, I know it sounds a bit weird but I quite like to eat the same meal as him but a veggie form so I came up with this salad and it's absolutely delicious!
Ingredients (serves 1):
1/2 small butternut squash
Olive oil
1 little gem lettuce
Handful of croutons (make your own with leftover bread!)
1 tbsp pinenuts
Vegetarian Ceasar dressing
Vegetarian Parmesan cheese
Method:
1. Peel the butternut squash and cut the top part into thick sticks (cut up the rest and cook for another meal!) drizzle with olive oil and roast for 20-30 minutes.
2. In a dry frying pan gently toast the pinenuts until lightly browned.
3. Cut up the lettuce and place on a dish, place the roasted butternut on top, sprinkle with the croutons. Add some Parmesan shavings and drizzle over some Caesar dressing, finally top with pinenuts.
And enjoy! X
butternut squash is one of my favourite veg to put in so many dishes- never thought of using it this way too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a coincidence! I bought butternut squash this week, wasn't really sure what to do with it yet and now I know ;) Perfect!

ReplyDeleteThat looks lovely! I love caesar salad and I bet the butternut squash is even better than chicken
ReplyDeleteThat is such a lovely sounding recipe. I love butternut squash and it is so good for you.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely is a healthy choice, it's funny as my husband always says 'I can't believe there's no meat in that' whenever we have something full veg :) looks good and will be sure to try it out.
