Moroccan Spiced squash

Peel, Slice and dice squash into cm or slightly larger cubes

Put the salad together– green salad underneath, squash , bell peppers, feta, olives and pomegranate seeds on top. Drizzle with dressing ( 2/3 oil, 1/3 vinegar( white wine, balsamic) , , mustard, salt, or honey to taste)

Red Cabbage slaw

Wash and remove out leaves and finely slice 1 small/ med red cabbage, 2-3 peeled carrots, 2 apples, I onion. Finely chop good handful of parsley  ( not necessary, but good if you have it). Add juice of 1 -2 lemons. Add coarsely ground  salt to taste

Tips- I have recently acquired a mandolin and grater that makes all of the slicing easier and gives a uniform final finish
