Ingredients
Method
On rimmed baking sheet, toss together butternut squash, 1 tbsp of the oil, cumin, coriander and pinch each of the salt and pepper. Roast in 425 F (220 C) oven until golden, about 15 minutes. Let cool slightly, about 5 minutes. (Make-ahead: Let cool completely before continuing.)
Meanwhile, in bowl, whisk together lime juice, mustard and remaining oil, salt and pepper. Stir in chickpeas and red onion. Pour into two 2-cup airtight containers. Layer with watercress; top with squash.
Make-ahead: Refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes.
Toss before serving.
