Ingredients
  

  • 800 grams Pumpkin peeled and cut into bite-sized chunks
  • Pomegranate Seeds: From 1 large pomegranate
  • 4 cups Mixed Salad Greens
  • 100 grams Feta Cheese crumbled
  • 1/2 cup Walnuts toasted and roughly chopped
  • 3 tbsp Olive Oil: 2 tablespoons for roasting + 1 tablespoon for dressing
  • 3 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Honey
  • 1 clove Garlic minced
  • Salt: To taste
  • Black Pepper: To taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven and Prepare Pumpkin: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
  • Toss the pumpkin chunks with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer.
  • Roast in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until the pumpkin is tender and caramelized, stirring halfway through.
  • Prepare the Balsamic Reduction: While the pumpkin is roasting, prepare the balsamic reduction. In a small saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar, honey, and minced garlic.
  • Simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes or until the mixture thickens slightly and reduces by about half. Set aside to cool.
  • Assemble the Salad: In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, roasted pumpkin, pomegranate seeds, and toasted walnuts.
  • Drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the balsamic reduction. Toss gently to combine.
  • Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top.
  • Serve: Divide the salad among plates and serve immediately, or chill in the refrigerator if preferred cold.
