How to make this salad

Click here to know what is a butternut squash and how to roast it.

1. 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.
2. 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.
