Pumpkin Roasted Hazelnut And Feta Salad Recipes

PUMPKIN AND FETA SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200°C/390°F/gas mark 6.
• Arrange pumpkin pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet and drizzle with vegetable oil.
• Roast the pumpkin in the oven for 30 minutes. If everything isn't cooked and tender, cook them for another 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool down.
• Toss the pumpkin, rocket, onion, cheese and walnuts in a large salad bowl.
• Place the olive oil, lemon juice, mint leaves, honey, mustard, salt and pepper in a small food processor and blend until smooth.
• Pour the dressing over the salad and toss again.
• Serve immediately and watch the salad bowl's contents disappear.

ROAST PUMPKIN, SPINACH AND FETA SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 220C/430F (standard) or 200C/390F (fan/convection).
• Toss pumpkin with olive oil, salt and pepper. Spread on baking tray, bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven, flip, then bake for a further 7 - 10 minutes until golden but not mushy. (Note 3) Loosen pumpkin with egg flip (it can adhere as it cools), then if serving salad at room temperature, leave to cool.
• Shake Dressing in a jar. Taste and adjust to taste. I like it a bit sharp because it balances out the flavours in this salad.
• Toast pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until light golden and it smells nutty. Remove pine nuts from skillet as soon as it's ready.
• Place Spinach in a bowl. Drizzle with a bit of dressing then toss.
• Add pumpkin, just a bit of feta and pine nuts, then GENTLY BRIEFLY toss just to disperse the feta. (If you toss vigorously, the feta can make it look messy).
• Transfer to serving plate. Sprinkle over remaining feta and pine nuts. Just before serving, drizzle with remaining dressing (dressing doesn't stay on baby spinach well, so worth drizzling at end). Serve!

PUMPKIN, ROASTED HAZELNUT AND FETA SALAD
