Savory Sweet Roasted Butternut Squash Rice Salad

Hi. It’s Lois at Recipe Idea Shop, telling you about Savory Sweet Roasted Butternut Squash Rice Salad, a flavorful main dish salad you will love.

If you haven’t had Roasted Butternut Squash, you are in for a treat! When you roast the squash in the oven, it gets caramelized, sweet and delicious. You can eat it just as it comes out of the oven, hot and amazing, room temperature or cold. Trust me, it doesn’t taste anything like the baked squash your mom made you eat.

Meal In One

I wanted a complete meal-in-one when I made this Savory Sweet Roasted Butternut Squash Rice Salad with Black Beans. I decided to combine some brown rice, similar to my Eqyptian Rice with the roasted squash and black beans. A-MAZ-ING and filling. It’s a great one-pan meal if you have left-over Roasted Butternut Squash. Nevertheless, I still made a mess in the kitchen. 🙂

Just in case, I suggest you get a full set of pans and casserole dishes, like these…
