Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Squash

    Preheat the grill to medium heat. Cut the butternut squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Brush the cut sides with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Grill the Squash

    Place the squash cut-side down on the grill. Grill for about 20-25 minutes until the flesh is tender and lightly charred. Remove from the grill and let cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, halved cherry tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion. Scoop out the grilled squash flesh and add it to the salad.

  4. 4

    Add Cheese and Dressing

    Crumble feta cheese over the salad. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and toss gently. Tear fresh basil leaves and sprinkle over the salad.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the salad warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
