    • Juice ½ lemon

    For the dressing

    • 1 tbsp tahini *
    • ½ small ripe avocado, stoned, peeled and chopped
    • small handful coriander leaves
    • small handful mint leaves
    • Zest and juice ½ lemon

    * Available at Holland & Barrett

    Method

    Step 1
    Heat the oven to 200c/180 fan/gas mark 6. Then line a baking tray with parchment. Add the butternut squash to the tray and drizzle over the olive oil, before seasoning well. Roast the squash for approximately 25 minutes, before adding the broccoli (also drizzled) and cook for a further 10 minutes.

    Step 2
    Now you need to begin to prepare the dressing. Place all the ingredients in a food processor or blender. Add a splash of water before blitzing to make a loose dressing.

    Step 3
    Tip your pouch of cooked quinoa into a large bowl. Throw in the herbs, spring onions, pomegranate seeds and pistachios. Add a splash of olive oil, season and gently toss everything together. Remove the roasted veg from the oven and add.

    Step 4
    Serve up the salad and drizzle the dressing over it. Chop your avocado in half, removing the stone, before sliding a dessertspoon between the skin of it to pull the flesh away. Now dice up your avocado into small chunks. Throw on top of the salad and squeeze a little lemon juice over the top of it all.
