- Cook the rice to pack instructions. Meanwhile, heat a dry frying pan over a medium heat and toast the cumin seeds for 1-2 mins, shaking the pan frequently, until fragrant. Transfer to a bowl, then whisk in the shallot, lemon juice, olive oil and season well.
- Reheat the squash (or serve cold if you prefer) in the microwave for 1-2 mins on high until heated through. Divide the cooked rice between 4 deep bowls and top with the squash pieces. Add the avocado, spring onions, salad cheese and coriander, and spoon over the dressing to serve.
