Instructions

Prep the Squash
1

Preheat your oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.

Trim the butternut squash, halve lengthways, then scoop out the seeds (peel first if you prefer). Cut into 2cm chunks.

Pop the butternut onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, sprinkle over the mixed herbs, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.

Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.

Time to Roast
2

When the oven is hot, roast the buttternut on the top shelf until golden and cooked through, 18-20 mins. Turn halfway through.

Get Prepped
3

Meanwhile, halve the baby plum tomatoes.

Tear the ciabatta into roughly 2cm chunks.

Drain and tear the mozzarella.

In a large bowl, combine the pesto, red wine vinegar, sugar and olive oil for the dressing (see pantry for both amounts). Season with salt and pepper.

Bake the Croutons
4

Pop the ciabatta onto a large baking tray in a single layer. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.

Bake on the middle shelf of your oven until golden, 8-10 mins.

Toss the Salad
5

When everything's ready, add the tomatoes, roasted squash and croutons to the dressing bowl. Toss to coat.

Just before serving, add the baby leaves and toss to combine. TIP: Don't add the leaves too early or they'll go soggy.

Serve Up
6

Share the salad between your bowls.

Top with the mozzarella and sprinkle over the hard Italian style cheese.

Drizzle over the balsamic glaze to finish.

Enjoy!
