Even if summer is the season when we mostly think of salads, some options for winter exist, too. This winter salad with baby spinach, roasted squash, feta and pine nuts is an easy meal ideal for lunch. It can also be easily stored for an office lunch or meal prep for the week.

minutesIngredients
1 little Kabocha squash
½ cup / 100 g feta cheese, crumbled
1 oz baby spinach
¼ cup pine nuts
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 + ½ tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
¼ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
How to
- Heat the oven to 360°F/180°C. Place the whole squash on the oven tray on a piece of parchment paper and bake until it’s tender enough to be easily pierced with a fork. It should take around 30-40 minutes and then you should be able to easily remove the skin.
- Add the spinach to a big bowl and toss with olive oil, lemon juice, salt and black pepper.
- Heat a small pan and roast the pine nuts for 4-5 minutes, shaking the pan often.
- Add the squash in pieces, feta, and pine nuts and toss gently again to combine. Season following your taste, then serve immediately.
