Serves 2

Ingredients;

300g butternut squash

2 large handfuls kale

250g cooked mixed grains

Handful fresh coriander, chopped

2 tbsp sundried tomatoes (preferably semi-dried)

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

2 tsp tahini

Juice of 1 lemon

Method;

1. Preheat the oven to 220 degrees Celcius. Cube the squash and place on a roasting tray with a little oil. Roast in the oven for 30 minutes, tossing half way through.

2. Add the kale to a large bowl, and microwave for 15 seconds on full power to slightly wilt the leaves. Add in the grains, coriander, tomatoes and paprika. Season with salt and pepper and a tiny drop of olive oil.

3. In a bowl, mix together the tahini and lemon, then add in water, a tbsp at a time, to achieve a thick dressing consistency.

4. Once the squash is done, toss it into the salad, and serve with the dressing drizzled on top.
