Roast Pumpkin and Baby Spinach Salad

Here is a salad to start your new year challenge - a new recipe each week.

This salad a friend of mine made a few months ago and I love it. The dressing is very special as it has maple syrup in it. This salad was a hit on Christmas Day.

Ingredients

Dressing:
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 teaspoons seeded mustard

Salad:
Washed baby spinach
Fetta (crumbled)
Pine nuts
Roast pumpkin
(any other salad ingredients, I put halved cherry tomatoes and cubed cucumber)

Method
  1. Roast the pumpkin with olive oil.
  2. Cool the pumpkin slightly before putting in the salad.
  3. Wash the baby spinach and put in a bowl.
  4. Crumble the fetta and put the pumpkin and pine nuts on top.
  5. Place all dressing in a bottle and shake.
  6. Pour dressing over the salad and serve.
