This roasted butternut squash and apple salad is a sophisticated vegetarian dish that beautifully balances sweet, savoury, and tangy flavours. The squash is roasted with a balsamic glaze until tender and slightly caramelised, providing a rich base for the crisp Fuji apple strips and bitter Belgian endive leaves. It is a vibrant, colourful plate that celebrates the best of autumnal produce in a refined way.
Ideal as a dinner party starter or a light lunch, this recipe is as practical as it is elegant. The roasted squash can be prepared several hours in advance, allowing you more time to spend with your guests. The addition of creamy blue cheese and tart dried cranberries provides a lovely contrast in texture, making it a nutritious and heart-healthy choice for any occasion.
