This recipe is made with our Balsamic Vinegar Dressing. By partnering Farrington’s Mellow Yellow cold pressed rapeseed oil with Aspall Apple Balsamic vinegar, we have created a modern British twist on the classic Italian salad dressing. Find out more about this tasty dressing here.

75g feta, crumbled
½ tin of chickpeas, drained (around 110g)
½ small red onion, sliced

Place your cubed butternut squash in a roasting dish and drizzle with Mellow Yellow Rapeseed Oil. Season with salt and pepper, toss to coat and roast for 30 minutes, or until cooked through.
In a jar, layer spinach, chickpeas, roasted butternut squash, red onion and feta. Drizzle with plenty of Mellow Yellow Balsamic Vinegar Dressing. Close your jar and enjoy your picnic pot.
We suggest eating this salad on the day you assemble it but you can roast the butternut squash a day or two before using, and it will be fine kept out the fridge for a few hours if you want to take it to a picnic or event.
