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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Peel the pumpkin, remove seeds, and cut into 2.5 cm (1-inch) cubes.
Step 3
In a large bowl, toss the pumpkin cubes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, ground cinnamon, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
While the pumpkin is roasting, thinly slice the red onion and set it aside.
Step 6
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, and dijon mustard to make the dressing.
Step 7
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, roasted pumpkin, red onion slices, crumbled feta cheese, and toasted pumpkin seeds.
Step 8
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together to coat ingredients evenly.
Step 9
Serve immediately while the pumpkin is still warm.
