Another favourite salad of ours is Butternut Squash, Feta and Pomegranate... delicious!

Chop your butternut squash into small chunks and cook in the oven until soft. Lay out a bed of spinach, rocket or your favourite green leaves for the base of your salad. Cut your feta into chunks or crumble over butternut squash once it's finished cooking and is cold.  Sprinkle your pomegranate seeds on top for a pop of extra colour... enjoy!

Despite it's sweet taste, butternut squash has a low glycaemic index, so it's great at regulating blood sugar.  It protects the heart, supports healthy digestion and optimises eye health.
