Pumpkin & Dill Salad
by thepearandthepurplepeach
Just a nice, fresh and simple salad that I whipped up for dinner with what was on hand last night. Was so yummy we both polished off the whole platter. Who said salad was boring?
What you need
1/4 of a pumpkin (I used Jap) chopped into bite sized pieces
Few handfuls of Baby spinach
Few handfuls Mesculin salad mix
1/2 Punnet of Cherry tomatoes halved
1 Lebanese cucumber halved and sliced
Handful dry roasted almonds chopped
1 tbs dry roasted Pumpkin seeds
1 Tbs Hemp seeds (optional)
1/2 bunch dill chopped Finley
Dressing
3 Tbs balsamic vinegar
2 Tbs Olive oil
1 Tbs maple syrup
What you do
Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius
Place pumpkin on roasting dish and drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast in oven for about 30 mins turning once until cooked through and browned. Allow to cool
Meanwhile place balsamic,olive oil & maple syrup in a small saucepan and gently simmer for a few mins allow to cool
Arrange remaining ingredients onto a serving platter and toss to combine, top with pumpkin and garnish with hemp seeds, almonds and pumpkin seeds. drizzle over dressing just before serving
With compassion
