For a salad option that looks as good on the table as it tastes, give this really bright beetroot and butternut squash recipe a go this week.

It’s a great way to use up any of the veg you might have left over in the fridge and is really quick to throw together – plus it makes a change from your bog standard salad recipes.

You’ll need to roast the veg in separate tins first, but once their added together and tossed with the rest of the herbs you’ll really appreciate this flavoursome dish.

This gorgeous salad serves up to six people so it’s a great one to try if you’ve got visitors or just want a big batch of something in the fridge you can serve up for lunches throughout the week.
