Looks great! I had a similar salad at new Catalan restaurant in the village - the cheese was manchego and the cherry tomatoes were oven roasted to just soft (not chewy like sun-dried). Very good. Come to think of it, if you are going to roast the tomatoes, you may as well roast the squash. Viola! a whole new recipe.
