If, like me, you like colorful food, this fall, you might want to try this butternut squash and chickpea salad for a healthy gluten free and vegetarian lunch or dinner.
You can either make this for one serving (as the recipe below) or make this for a crowd. To make it easier for you to prepare for any number of servings, you can use the adjustable servings function on the recipe.

- Once the butternut squash is roasted and cooled down, cut it into bite sized pieces. Personally I peel the skin off the butternut, but you can eat it if you want. Put the butternut pieces in a large bowl.
- Do the same thing with the Feta cheese and add all the other ingredients. Mix well. And voilà! Bon appétit !
How to meal prep this butternut squash and chickpea salad?
I don't know if I can actually call this meal prepping as I am not familiar with it. But anyway, this is how I organize myself to do this, in order to make it quicker.
When I have a butternut squash, I simply roast it and then store it in the fridge once it is roasted and cooled down. Then I use the roasted butternut squash for many recipes.
