Place the 2 halves cut side down on a baking sheet with a little bit of water and bake for 15-20 minutes.
Remove from oven and let cool. When the squash is cool to the touch take a fork and scrape the spaghetti like strands out into a large mixing bowl. Then add the diced tomatoes, olive oil, lemon juice, feta cheese, chopped olives, and fresh mint.
Mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste. This serves 6-8 side salad servings.
