Pumpkin salad

Pumpkin is my favorite veg. This is the most humble backyard vegetable with low in calories. I love the taste of it. I also get pumpkin seeds and add them in my smoothies. So today i made pumpkin salad.

Ingredients

Pumpkin 100 gms
Spinach 200 gms
Peanuts handful
Sea Salt to taste
Olive oil 1tsp
Red chilli flakes (Optional)

Dressing
Balsamic vinegar 3 tbsp
Honey 1 tbsp
Olive oil 2 tbsp




Method :

1.Wash and remove the skin of the pumpkin. Cut them into 2 cm thick pieces
2. Heat olive oil in pan and roast the pumpkin until crisp and tender. You can cover with a lid too. This will take you ten minutes.
4. While your pumpkin is getting cooked, wash and cut the spinach and keep aside
5. In the same pan roast the peanuts
6. For Dressing : Combine honey, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil. Put this microwavable jar, cover it and shake it. Remove the lid and place in the micro-oven. This would take around 10 secs.Once done shake it well and combine
7. In a bowl spread the spinach at the bottom layer followed by pumpkin. Sprinkle peanuts . Drizzle. Season with sea salt and chilli flakes if adding . Serve.
