Butternut squash salad

V  This dish is called a "salad" but is eaten warm and, as you can see, we made it a main course.  We followed the Good Food Magazine recipe and found it was enough for us, followed by some fresh British strawberries and single cream.  Without a dessert I don't think it would have been enough on its own, especially for my husband who is diabetic and needs a substantial meal before having his evening insulin shot.  (Very low in calories, so also good for dieters!!)

The whole thing took a mere 45-50 minutes to prepare and cook and, because there is no meat involved, was a very low cost meal; it was also nutritious and extremely tasty, with lots of different flavours and textures.  We also loved the look of it, with the jewel-like colours of the golden squash, emerald broccoli and ruby-red dried cranberries.  Definitely one we will be enjoying again!
