Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams pumpkin
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 4 cups mixed salad greens
- 100 grams crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons toasted pumpkin seeds
- 0.5 units red onion
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoons honey
- 1 teaspoons dijon mustard
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the pumpkin, remove seeds, and cut into 2.5 cm (1-inch) cubes.
In a large bowl, toss the pumpkin cubes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, ground cinnamon, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the pumpkin cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized.
While the pumpkin is roasting, thinly slice the red onion and set it aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, and dijon mustard to make the dressing.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, roasted pumpkin, red onion slices, crumbled feta cheese, and toasted pumpkin seeds.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together to coat ingredients evenly.
Serve immediately while the pumpkin is still warm.
