Lentil, Squash and Feta Salad image

A little something I threw together one night. Great for a vegetarian meal. You can add some browned sausages on the side or sliced in the salad for meat lovers.

Categories     Lentil

Time 50m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 butternut squash, peeled and thickly sliced
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, minced
1 tablespoon cumin
salt and pepper, to taste
10 cherry tomatoes, halved
250 g uncooked brown lentils, washed
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
50 g salad leaves (rocket or lambs lettuce)
75 g feta, sliced
salt and pepper
1 onion, sliced (optional)
6 links pork sausage (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 200°C.
  • Toss the squash with the olive oil and seasoning and roast in a baking tray for 30-40 minutes until tender, stirring occasionally.
  • About 10 minutes before the squash is done, add in the cherry tomatoes.
  • Meanwhile, cook the lentils according to the package instructions.
  • Drain and let cool slightly.
  • Mix with the olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar and brown sugar.
  • Just before serving mix in the salad leaves and feta. Season to taste.
  • Arrange the squash over the top. You may have a fair bit of squash left if you use a large squash. You can use this in other salads later or make it into a soup.
  • If you like, you can also fry some sausages and onions and serve them alongside the salad. Or slice the sausages and mix them, once cooked, with the lentils.

I love the combination of flavors in this salad. The lentils add a hearty texture, the squash is sweet and tender, and the feta adds a salty tang.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover lentils and squash. It's also a healthy and filling meal.

Overall, I thought this salad was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I found this recipe to be a bit time-consuming. Roasting the squash took longer than I expected and the lentils also took a while to cook.

This salad was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning or a more flavorful dressing.
