Oh dear whole day of meetings today but there was cake so not all bad .Got home and spent the evening doing more work writing up my notes and putting together
a presentation for a colleague .
However I was still determined to have put
together some lunch for tommorrow since heading on up to London above was the result I know it tastes good cos I ended up having some when working this evening . I think if sold in M&S this would be some kind of superfood seasonal salad for me it was just delicious and even the colours made me happy. Might even take a picture in the office tommorrow
Butternut Squash , Buckwheat , Walnut , Watercress and Goats Cheese Salad
Roasted Butternut Squash
Buckwheat cooked
Toasted Walnuts
Watercress
Goats Cheese
Method
The butternut squash was roasted this weekend while the cake was baking , thickly sliced , placed on a baking tray & drizzled with a little oil . Roast for 30 minutes at 190degC
Buckwheat another amazing grain to add to my ever expanding collection , lovely fluffy grains . It doesn’t need any soaking , just simmer for 20 minutes and drain. Once cooked it keeps for a good few days to
Who doesn’t love walnuts and like all nuts extra delicous sublime if you toast them , just five minutes in a medium oven , I chucked them in the oven with the butternut squash
Crumbly white goats cheese I think completes this dish but you could omit for a vegan spectacular
Mix together all the ingredients and dress with just a squeeze of lemon and some black pepper
