This salad is a perfect healthy side dish and is really easy to prepare.
I had run out of pomegranate and baby spinach so the picture shows without which is still delicious although I do prefer with pomegranate added!
Serves 4
Ingredients
500g butternut pumpkin (peeled and cubed)
250g Greek Fetta
1/2 cup quinoa
seeds of 1 pomegranate (optional but amazing especially when refrigerated first)
baby spinach (optional but amazing)
Olive oil
Salt
Pepper
Juice of 1/2 a lemon
Method
Preheat oven to 200 degrees celsius
On a baking tray add pumpkin and season with salt, pepper and drizzle with olive oil
Roast for 40 – 60 minutes or until roasted
Meanwhile cook the quinoa in a saucepan (1 part quinoa:2 parts water) for 12 – 15 minutes or until water has evaporated
Set aside in a sieve to drain
Add the pumpkin, quinoa and spinach to a bowl and wait for it to cool slightly before adding the pomegranate & fetta
Season with salt, lemon juice and a dash of olive oil
You can also play around and add sunflower seeds, slivered almonds or anything else you may have lying around!
