Butternut Pumpkin (Squash), Roasted Hazelnut and Feta Salad image

We're in a middle of a week-long 40°C+ (104°F+) heatwave in Melbourne, so I was looking for something that is easy, healthy & is not going to require standing over a hot flame. I found this recipe on cuisine.com.auby Kylie Davis published in The Sydney Morning Herald Friday January 16, 2009

Categories     Salad Dressings

Time 1h

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup hazelnuts
1 1/2 kg butternut pumpkin, cut into 3cm pieces
olive oil flavored cooking spray
salt and pepper
175 g marinated persian feta cheese, drained
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat fan-forced oven to 230°C /445°F (240°C if not fan forced).
  • While the oven is heating, place hazelnuts on to a baking tray, roast for 10-15 minutes until skins crack and nuts are roasted. Wrap in a clean tea towel and rub hazelnuts in tea towel to remove skins. Chop nuts and set aside.
  • Line a large roasting pan with non-stick baking paper and arrange the pumpkin in pan, spray with oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Roast, turning once, for 15 minutes or until golden brown and tender. Cool to room temperature.
  • Place dressing ingredients in a screw-top jar and shake well to combine. Remove lid. Microwave on high (100 per cent) for 10 seconds or until honey is melted. Shake again to combine.
  • Combine pumpkin, hazelnuts and feta on a serving platter, drizzle with dressing and serve.

I added some chopped arugula to this salad for extra flavor and texture. It was a great addition!

I made this salad with goat cheese instead of feta and it was still delicious. I think any type of soft cheese would work well in this recipe.

This salad is really good, but I would have liked it more if the butternut squash was roasted a little longer. It was still a bit too firm for my taste.

I'm not a huge fan of butternut squash, but I loved this salad! The sweetness of the squash was perfectly balanced by the tanginess of the feta cheese and the crunch of the hazelnuts.
