The squash turned out mushy, is there a way to make it crispy? Also, there wasn’t enough sauce, so it tasted a bit bland

Hey Dalia, for crispier squash you could try roasting it at a higher temperature (such as 425°F/220°C) and spreading the pieces out on the tray to avoid steaming. Tossing them with a little cornstarch before baking could help too! Hope this helps for now!💛

Really loved this salad, perfect for this time of year when there are lots of squash in season. Swapped out the lemon juice and replaced with walnut vinegar (my favourite for dressings) and added 1 clove of crushed garlic to the dressing as I did not have garlic powder. Will definitely make it again. Would love to see some recipes for other squash like the yellow spaghetti squash that are also in season now. Could not find anything in the app search for this type of spaghetti squash.

Hey Lisa, so glad that the recipe was enjoyed and thanks for the request 😃 In the meantime, in case it helps, we've heard positive reviews for using spaghetti squash in our Simple Vegan Lasagna and Creamy Coconut Paprika Zucchini Soup recipes ✨

Amazing warm salad for fall! I made it with my husband today. We couldn't find pomegranate so we used dried cranberries instead and it was delicious! After taste testing though, we decided to double the dressing amount to make the flavors a bit more cohesive, but that's just our personal preference. Would recommend 100%♥

Mmm a delicious idea to use cranberries, Dorottya! So glad that the recipe was enjoyed too 😊

Unusual dish - in a good way. The butternut squash released a lot of fluid and some of it became mushy. This affected the texture. Any tips would be appreciated (unless it's supposed to do that).

Glad you liked it, and thanks for the question, Kim 😊 Butternut squash can sometimes release extra moisture when it’s overcooked or not roasted at a high enough temperature. You can try roasting it at a slightly higher heat next time to help keep the pieces firmer and reduce mushiness ✨

Wow wow wow what a delicious salad and I'm really glad to have discovered black rice. I would love to see more dishes with this ingredient.

Delicious. Instead of using the dressing on the whole salad, I just used it only on the tofu

Delicious. I actually made it with the golden glow sauce and it was amazing.
Athina - Jan. 15, 2024, 3:33 p.m.
I would have never thought to combine these ingredients, but I am so happy to have found this recipe, it is one of my new favourites!

Such a big compliment, Athina, we're so happy that you found and enjoyed the recipe 🥰

Just amazing, this is one of the new stabels in our house

Absolutely yummy! I added beet root instead of the pumpkin and it was still delicious. Pomegranate seeds are a must indeed!
PUL Team - Sept. 18, 2023, 3:53 a.m.
Mmm beet root sounds lovely! So happy you enjoyed this one, CJ 😊

Delicious and easy to make! The pomegranate seeds are a MUST in my opinion and make the dish soo diverse. Will make this again👌

This is lovely and feels really healthy and nourishing. Used an air fryer at 170 for 17 minutes instead of oven.
