Ingredients

1 butternut, sliced skin and seeds intact
650 g Woolworths baby beetroot, washed and quartered
5 garlic cloves, crushed
2 T olive oil
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
40 g watercress
3 spring onions, chopped

For the cauliflower couscous:

380 g Woolworths cauliflower couscous

For the lemon dressing, whisk:

2-3 T olive oil
1 lemon, zested and juiced
2 t Dijon mustard

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Toss the butternut and beetroot with the garlic, olive oil and seasoning, then roast for 40 minutes or until caramelised and tender.

2. Toss the cauliflower couscous in the olive oil and seasoning.

Cook's note: Serve a build-your-own salad platter. It looks great, makes sharing easier and also keeps everything from wilting in the heat.
