Roasted pumpkin in a salad is delicious. I used to have it at least once a week for work

This salad looks amazing. Could use a mixed lettuce instead of kale

So great to see something new I haven’t tried, like the tahini sauce, and looks so appetising.

Yummm! I love kale and pumpkin – we have them growing in our yard. I think I’ll need to ask hubby to plant some capsicum and pomegranate if that’s even possible.
Thank you for sharing, always on the lookout for salads that are a little different from your average but not too out there where our fam doesn’t want to try it lol.

  That is great. We have the capsicum growing but not the kale and pumpkin. Will have to see to that too.

I absolutely adore roast pumpkin, particularly butternut with burnt bits on. Not sure on the kale tho, I’ve grown it before and wasn’t too keen on it
