"A lovely vegetarian side from Super Food Ideas. They do suggest serving it with barbecued chicken breast fillets or thighs or firm white fish fillets such as ling or blue eye or to keep to vegetarian fry up some tofu."

This such a delicious dish and it makes a beautiful presentation. It has everything that I truly love. I used butternut squash and since I didn't have white balsamic, I used regular balsamic in it's place. Will be making this dish often.

Wow. This is really fabulous. I wouldn't change a thing. The goat cheese goes so well with the spinach and cold barley. And the butternut squash roasted in honey, salt & pepper is SO good I could eat that just by itself as a side dish rather than cooling it for this salad. I will definitely make this again and it's going into my Best of 2017 cookbook! I did cut the recipe in half and it could easily have served 4 as a side or 2 as their entire meal. Looking forward to leftovers tomorrow.
