Warm Winter Squash Salad

A nice, wintery, warm salad.

Just because it’s winter doesn’t mean we have to say goodbye to salads! This gorgeous warming squash salad is full of wintery flavours and makes a delicious light lunch or side dish. It’s a great way to use up leftover roast squash, or any veg for that matter!
