Cooking Instructions

Hide images
step 1
Set oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
step 2
Peel the Butternut Squash (1) and cut in half long ways, spoon out the seeds and place them on a baking tray. Cut the butternut into rough cubes and place on the baking tray with the seeds.
step 3
Roughly cut the Red Bell Pepper (1) and Green Bell Pepper (1) into square pieces, not too small because they do shrivel a bit with cooking.
step 4
Place on a baking tray with the butternut and drizzle with the Olive Oil (2 Tbsp), sprinkle with Salt (to taste) and Simply Organic® Black Pepper (to taste), and place in the oven to roast for about 45 minutes. Turn halfway through.
step 5
While the vegetables are cooking, prepare your Couscous (1 cup) as per instructions on the box. When done, stir through a drizzle of Olive Oil (1 Tbsp) and a pinch of Salt (to taste) and Simply Organic® Black Pepper (to taste) then set aside to cool.
step 6
To make the dressing, blend Fresh Parsley (1 handful), Fresh Basil (1 handful), Plain Greek Yogurt (3 Tbsp), Avocado (1), Salt (to taste), and Simply Organic® Black Pepper (to taste) together.
step 7
Gently toss the butternut, seeds, and peppers in with the Cous Cous, stir through the dressing, pile the salad up high on a plate so you can see all the lovely colors.
step 8
Garnish with some fresh herb sprigs, pour pesto dressing over salad. Enjoy!
