Butternut and Chick Pea Salad


I tried this, or something similar, at work and have recreated it at home today, with a twist. Here's what it is and how to do it:

1 Butternut Squash
1 240g (drained) can Chick Peas
1 120g (drained) can Black Eyed Beans
1 Orange
Half a block of hard feta cheese
Salt, pepper, olive oil

1. Cut the butternut squash into bite sized pieces, toss in the olive oil and salt and pepper, and roast in the oven for 30 mins at 180 degrees (fan oven).
2. Tip the roasted squash, and both cans of peas / beans into a big bowl
3. Cut the orange in half and squeeze every last drop of lovely juice out, and add to the squash and bean mixture
4. Toss everything together well
5. Get yourself a couple of big bowls to eat from (this serves 2 hungry people at lunchtime)
6. Chop the feta cheese into centimetre square pieces and sprinkle over the salad

And that's really all there is to it. Yummy and pretty healthy, and it looks like sunshine.
