Step one

Place all dressing ingredients in a tightly sealed glass container. Shake vigorously.
Step two

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Place squash cubes on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil; add generous amount of pepper and a pinch of salt. Mix and bake on the middle rack for 25 minutes, mixing halfway through the cooking time. Set aside.
Step three

Place salmon in a large resealable bag; add lemon zest and ¼ cup of VH^® Dressing. Seal and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Step four

Once marinated, pat down salmon with a paper towel and place it on the same baking sheet. Cook for 10 minutes.
Step five

Place all salad ingredients, except for salmon and squash, into a large salad bowl. Season with prepared VH® All-Purpose Dressing and mix well. Top with salmon and squash cubes.

Tips

For extra flavour, add 30 mL (2 tbsp.) fresh basil leaves, torn by hand. The dressing can be used in every possible way!

Try it on your salads, as a condiment, or as a marinade for your favourite meats and fish. It can be kept in the fridge for up to one month.
