Pumpkin & Pine Nut Salad

Pumpkin & Pine Nut Salad.

I love this salad and its a regular side dish in our house.

We serve it up with a delicious roast chicken or a nice steak; however, it would be a great side dish to any main meal.

 

Ingredients:

120g fresh spinach and rocket leaves
1/2 butternut pumpkin cut into cubes
3 tablespoons of pine nuts roasted
Juice of 1 lemon
Olive oil (equal amount to lemon juice) plus extra for roasting pumpkin
Salt and pepper to taste

Method:

Place the pumpkin on a oven tray with a drizzle of olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Bake on 180 degrees for 20-30 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

In a bowl whisk the lemon juice and olive oil together with a fork adding salt and pepper to taste.

Place the washed spinach and rocket into a serving bowl, top with the roasted pumpkin and pine nuts and finish with the lemon and olive oil dressing.
