Roasted Pumpkin Salad

Recently I’ve come to love roasted pumpkin — the caramelised edges and soft sweet interior makes the perfect base for a variety of warm, wintery salads.

A combination of roasted vegetables, crunchy nuts, sharp cheese and a yoghurt dressing — perfect for winter lunches and easy dinners.
