I love pumpkin. It is one of my favourite vegetables and it makes for a great salad ingredient. Combine it with this dressing which is my number one ‘go to’ dressing and you have a salad that can easily be a meal.


Ingredients (serves 4)

  • 1 Whole Butternut Pumpkin. Peeled, seeded and diced
  • 1 Can Chickpeas
  • 1 Spanish Onion - diced
  • Large Handful Baby spinach
  • 8 Tablespoons Flax Oil
  • 4 Tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 2 Tablespoons Peanut Butter
  • 2 Teaspoons Hot Mustard
  • 4 Tablespoons Maple Syrup

Method

  1. Toss the pumpkin in some olive oil, season with salt and pepper and roast for about 40 minutes on 180 degrees Celsius. I like my pumpkin really well done as it caramelises to beautifully so just cook to your preference.
  2. When building salads I am a creature of habit, I always put the greens first, then onions, then put the yummiest things on the top – ie the pumpkin and the chickpeas.
  3. Blend all dressing ingredients with a hand held blender. Then toss the salad with the dressing until everything is generously coated.
  4. You really can throw anything into a salad with this dressing. Really a matter of what you have in the house, or what you are trying to use up.

  • I’ve just been given a homegrown pumpkin & you’ve given me some inspiration of what to do with this whopper apart from making soup
