The Perfect Mid-week Supper- Fig, Goats Cheese and Butternut Squash salad.

Happy Tuesday! If you are lacking inspiration for your mid-week meals, heres a quick, easy, healthy and delicious recipe for you to try. Enjoy! 

Ingredients:

Serves 3-4

• 6-8 Figs cut into 1/8.
• Half a large Butternut Squash
• Rapeseed oil
• Salt
• Pepper
• Paprika
• Garlic granules
• Soft or hard goats cheese (i use whichever is in my fridge at the time!)
• Mixed salad (Rocket, spinach, watercress, lettuce)
• Toasted Pine nuts. 
• Squeeze of lemon.

Method:

1. Pre-heat the oven at 180degrees. 
2. Peel and chop the butter nut squash into bite size squares. Cover generously with the oil, salt, pepper, paprika and garlic granules then pop in the oven for 25-30mins. 
3. When the squash is nearly done prep the figs and goats cheese by chopping to your desired size. I like to cut my figs into little wedges. If i have hard goats cheese i will use a potato peeler to create soft swirls, and if its soft then cubes work best. 
4. Layer up! I start with any green leaves at the bottom, layer over the butternut squash, the cheese on top of that (as it melts a little which is delicious!) then the figs. I like to add a sprinkling of pine nuts and a good squeeze of lemon but thats optional! 
5. Feel smug about your pretty salad (instagram it) and demolish!
