Healthy Eating

In an effort to eat healthy, we had this salad for dinner.

While I'll admit to not being a fan of rabbit food salad as an entree,

this was quite good so I thought I'd share.

It is served warm and consists of a bed of Romaine lettuce,

thinly sliced pre-cooked chicken,

thinly sliced onion, and roasted butternut squash

all drizzled with a homemade tahini dressing.

I cheated on the chicken.

I used a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken from the grocery store

and simply warmed it once sliced.

The roasted squash is super easy and super tasty.

Simply peel and roughly chop a medium sized butternut squash.

Spread in a single layer on a cookie sheet.

Drizzle with a tablespoon or so of olive oil

Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper

and roast in a 425° for 25 to 30 minutes turning once about halfway through.

Tahini dressing

1/3 cup tahini

2 Tablespoons lemon juice

1 Tablespoon olive oil

1/3 cup water

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

Place all ingredients in bowl and whisk together.

Served with homemade bread, it makes a delicious and nutritious dinner!
