<strong”>Why you’ll love the new Woolworths Roasted Pumpkin and Grains Salad Kit …

For the Woolworths Roasted Pumpkin and Grains Salad Kit Product Review we asked mums to try this salad kit that’s made up of a deliciously cooked and flavoured pre-cooked wholegrain freekah combined with roasted pumpkin in a light lemon dressing combined with fetta, pumpkin seeds and a balsamic glaze.

All ingredients are packaged separately within the larger salad container for freshness and crunch.  So all you have to do is mix them together just before serving.

How easy is that?  No needing to buy (and prepare) all the separate ingredients!  Just tip into a bowl, mix and serve.

We think these Woolworths Salad Kits are a brilliant idea for those times when you’re asked to bring a salad along to a BBQ or party … or even a picnic!  And they are absolutely an inspired choice for busy weeknight dinners when you only have minutes to put dinner together.

Shop the range of Woolworths Salad Kits online or in store* at Woolies.

  • Love it

    Me and my family totally love the woolies pumpkin and grain salad kit. It tastes great and super fresh. I like how they separately pack everything so if someone doesn’t want to add a particular thing, it’s okay. I have tried to mix this up with a number of other healthy items..the best is with baby spinach and some extra feta. The quantity and quality, both are great. It’s a winner and one of my fav woolies salad.

  • Quick, easy, and delicious solution!

    We were looking forward to having friends over for lunch, and normally I would love spending time in the kitchen preparing the perfect meal. This particular weekend, though, life was a little crazy. The school year was nearly finished, and the two teachers in the house were pressed for time and stretched to our limits (and with bushfires on the doorstep, school days were decidedly different than they normally are anyway!). Our teenage kids would normally help out, but they were also busy with end of year excursions and activities. This time around, easy options had to win out!
    I picked out a couple of Woolworths Deli salads to go with the meat for the bbq, and I was so glad I did. Regular deli salads can get a bit samey – all creamy mayo dressings and heavy contents. These were totally different! I was able to prep the salads in less than a minute, but the ingredients were all fresh and high quality. I particularly liked the Pumpkin and Grain salad, and the quantity was generous. If I needed to stretch it, I could have easily served this salad over a bed of baby spinach or mixed greens and fed even more people. The salads were a hit with everyone from the adults to the two year old!
    I’d definitely pick these up again for an easy, high quality addition to a meal. A home made salad would have taken more time and effort, this was just as nice and allowed me to focus on our guests and enjoying some time to relax rather than spending time in the kitchen preparing a meal!

  • Highly recommend and very convenient

    I love how convenient the salad kit is. It is perfect for a healthy dinner side dish and also tastes great. I also like how the fresh it tastes because the feta, seeds, and dressing is all packed separately. I am also quite picky with feta cheese and the one in the salad kit tasted really good. I would definitely purchase the salad kits again as it helps to incorporate healthier foods in my families diet

  • My favourite

    I’m buying these for Christmas lunch.
    I love the individual wrapped sauces that keep the whole salad fresh and crisp. It’s great knowing they will stay super fresh till I serve them and know one will know the secret that are ready made, because they taste like home made. Love these salads so much, super quick and a family favourite here. This one would be our most favourite

  • Nutritious, tasty salad full of goodies!!

    I had to fight the crowds to get to my salad kit section of the deli today, which meant other people already knew what I was about to find out. This salad kit was tasty, nutritious, filling and packed full of goodies!
    I am dairy free so I excluded the fetta cheese from my salad but included it in my husbands portion which I found really handy. I don\\\’t think I\\\’ll need a snack this afternoon either because the freekeh has left me feeling so satiated!! I would definitely recommend this salad to people who like quick healthy salads for work as well as for dinner or parties.

  • So good I couldn’t choose just one!!!

    I loved the look of these salads so much that I couldn’t choose just 1! The combination of the pasta or grains with the fresh salad ingredients, dressing and cheese makes it an all-in-one Salad that needs nothing added to it. The kits are a perfect accompaniment to a protein for dinner, or on its own as a special, easy lunch. They are especially great for hot summer nights when you don’t want to cooking with a hot oven.

    We have had the Woolworths Roasted Pumpkin and Grains Salad Kit . The taste is lovely and good and the ingredients are always fresh. we buy this one often as everyone likes to enjoy this one.

    The Woolworths Salad Kits are a great idea. The salads are delicious and healthy meal solutions. The reason I like them most is their convenience and freshness. I don’t mind paying if the ingredients are fresh. It’s a nice salad and I do add some baby spinach and rocket leaves sometimes.makes it more fun. I would recommend this to all mums who need a break from cooking once in a while.

  • Very nice

    So it was pizza night tonight and I was way too tired from work, so I didn’t cook and Rather I just bought 2 packs of saled kits.. one Greek salad and the other roasted pumpkin. My son loved it and had the two salads as his main.. haha. Yeah he preferred the salads over the pizzas. He enjoyed it and so I think this will be a perfect combination from now on and based on quality I Recommend trying this out.

  • Yum yum

    simply love the Greek salad kit from Woolworths. All the salads are so fresh and so very easy to make. The salad is very tasty with a delicious dressing. The salads are reasonably priced and the quality is just simply great. They are quite famous, grab them quick. The quantity is adequate for one person but you can always increase the quantity by adding more stuff like feta and spinach. Recommend trying.

  • Like a home made salad but in a second

    This salad, while costing $9, is big enough to share. It is ulta convenient and with the different ingredients separated it is easy to add less of any of them to suit individual taste. For example my daughter would have added less of the seeds but I would have not used the full dressing sachet and I loved the seeds. I particularly liked the pumpkin in the salad as it added a different flavour and layer of interest. The 4 * rating was also encouraging with respect to future purchases as it is healthy as well as looking healthy.

  • Good sharing size salad

    This salad makes bringing something to a bbq to share very convenient and healthy. Altho the fetta cheese, seeds and sauce were packed separately on another tray i am not sure if the veg and couscous could be separated too. The rocket salad was a little dam for my liking. Other than that the size to share for 4 was more than sufficient. Will try the other flavours when I have to bring a dish to share.

  • NIce, but expensive for the size

    These salad kits are very convenient, but i do think that at $10 they are a little pricey, considering they are quite small. I tried the roast pumpkin and grains and it was nice, but not amazing. I’d like to try some of the other options.

  • Salad kit review

    The Woolworths salad kits are a great idea. I tried the roasted pumpkin and grains salad kit. It was very tasty but would have been better with a little bit more green leafy salad to mix in. I would probably buy it again if I needed something quick and easy to grab and take somewhere like a park lunch out as a side dish.

  • Delicious, nutritious, convenient

    As a vegetarian of 30+ years this salad was the best choice for me. It was very tasty but a little stodgy. According to the list of ingredients there was basil pesto which I could neither identify nor taste. The dressing, although nice did not really complement the salad. On my limited budget this is not a product I would buy again as it was much too expensive.

    We tried the Spanish Style Pasta Salad with Chorizo, Red Onion & Fetta. Well … We can\’t speak highly enough of it! To say the taste was great is an understatement. We loved all the individual packs, and how fresh it was when made up. Looked lovely & tasted fabulous.
    Would highly recommend and we have bought again ourselves.

  • Perfect accompaniment to Summery cold meats.

    Roasted Pumpkin and Grains Salads x 2 were the perfect lunch accompaniment to the Christmas lunch cold meats excesses used for a relaxing Boxing Day , easily prepared lunch for family and house guests. The salads were enjoyed by all. Healthy, nutritious and I loved the chunky roast pumpkin pieces. I made one salad using all the ingredients and the second salad without the addition of the balsamic glaze. I put the glaze in a small jug closeby for any person who chose to add their own glaze.
    Roasted Pumpkin and Grains Salads was such a success that now I’m eager to try the other varieties.

Buon Appetito! A Busy Mum’s Guide To Memorable, Simple Summer Entertaining

I fondly remember slow, summer afternoons with family and friends gathered around a table of delicious finger-food during my childhood – the adults chatting and laughing, the kids pretending they understood the jokes. My parents had continued their Mediterranean traditions long after settling in Australia – and the simple joy of an effortlessly elegant gathering was one of my favourites.

What I don’t remember is my parents ever being stressed about the gatherings. It all just seemed to ‘come together’. Ah, how times have changed!

There’s something about the Italian style of entertaining that’s still so alluring in our fast-paced family lives. The idea of La Dolce Vita: a sweet life surrounded by family, friends, food and minimal fuss. Which is why we’ve enlisted the help of the entertaining experts at Sandhurst to share easy tips for elegant, memorable summer get-togethers.

We also asked our community of mums to share their tried and true, easy summer entertaining ideas, and we can’t wait to share them with you!

Euro-Inspired Entertaining

Sandhurst

Before we dive into the delicious world of sumptuous, simple summer entertaining, it helps to know a little about the inspiration behind our guide. And that’s the concept of Italian entertaining – where time is taken to lovingly grow ingredients, before enjoying them with those you love.

Established in 1988, Sandhurst was born from the time-honoured traditions of generations of the family behind the brand – a proud Italian Australian family passionate about quality produce sourced from world’s best growers.

At the helm of Sandhurst are brothers Mimmo and Ray Lubrano, who live and breathe the impeccable ingredients that become the centrepiece of so many gatherings in Australian family homes.

“Tradition is what we stand for. We’re custodians of Italian values,” explained Mimmo. “When we go to Italy we see it in our grandparents, our parents came from Italy in the 50s. The tradition is a set of values: honesty, teamwork, participation, family – all the things you would associate with Italian family are the values.”

And it’s these beautiful values that make summer gatherings in Australia an extension of the European table.

Easy Summer Entertaining Starts With … Time Saving Secrets!

A sweet summer of entertaining doesn’t need to be stressful. In fact, it shouldn’t be. It’s a chance to spend time with loved ones. To press pause on life and make memories. And it can be simple! So here are some really easy tips for making your home the place where everyone wants to gather this summer.

Create An Entertaining Kit

Whether it’s pre-planned or you’ve had friends or family drop-in, having a few things ready to go immediately melts away any stress. Here are some things to include in a summer entertaining kit:

  • A red table cloth: It instantly says festive!
  • Some platters and serving dishes
  • Candles
  • Some quality antipasto ingredients that simply need to be decanted and enjoyed!

Many Hands Make Light Work

As mums, we tend to be our own worst enemy when it comes to delegating tasks. But remember, a summer of entertaining is about creating memories – not perfection. So let the kids help, and accept offers from your guests who’d like to bring something along to share.

“It can be overwhelming, so just delegate, and prepare. I do one dish prep per day and pop them in the freezer. Then they just need to be heated up. Let the kids do the decorating for you – plus keeps them busy!” – MoM Member Kirsty

Decorate With Happiness

There’s no need to pull out your finest crystal to pull off an elegant get together. Take a look around your home and garden to see what will bring your table to life. A bowl of lemons is a gorgeous addition, as is a bunch of gum leaves. Keep it simple and understated.

Finger Food For The Win

Nothing says simple summer elegance more than a charcuterie board (or three!). When my friends and our families get together, it’s our go-to – every family is asked to ‘bring a board’. Some do savoury and some sweet, so we’re covered for a long afternoon of catching up.

“Food wise, I keep it simple by doing cold deli meats, cheeses, fresh fruits and veggies.” – MoM Member

But just because boards are easy to put together, doesn’t mean they can’t ooze elegance. And that comes down to including quality ingredients. Choosing Sandhurst products is the easiest way to guarantee the highest quality ends up on your table. We love the premise behind the brand: from our family to yours – it invokes that nostalgic feeling of shared stories, history, gatherings and family.

La Dolce Vita!

A summer of sophisticated entertaining doesn’t have to be hours and hours of work. We don’t want it to be! By grabbing some beautiful ingredients to fill your pantry next time you’re shopping, you’ll know that at a moment’s notice you’ll have everything you need for a Euro-inspired gathering. No fuss, but plenty of substance and style!

  • I have been a purchaser of Sandhurst goods ever since they first appeared on supermarket shelves and still buy it to this day. The Sandhurst brand is the best without a doubt. This year I have not been able to find the Sandhurst cheese stuffed baby capsicums anywhere. I have tried to get on the Sandhurst site, but no luck with what they make. Help – these are such a wonderful addition to a salad.

  • I Love a good charcuterie board. I Love all the different options all on the one board. I love to do a chocolate board when we have guests over, it’s a fun way to do dessert after dinner. The kids love seeing everything layed out so they can pick and choose.

  • This is great for the grandchildren they love them as they use them as finger food and make up their own meal and use plenty of ingredients including meat and cheese on the dips and crackers. We keep it simple with the Sandhurst’s products as it is a meal in every jar and the kids love them.

  • This looks like the perfect relaxed way to have a picnic! I am loving the idea of this! Just bring along lots of fillings and plenty of cheeses and breads and of course a little alcohol and you’re all set. This sounds like the perfect way to catch up with friends!

  • Certainly most welcome for summer, and would be wonderful for the festive season. I can see this platter on the table Christmas Eve, when we get together with our neighbours.

  • Charcuterie boards are the absolute best! We do these so often in the warmer months because there’s something for the whole family. People pick and choose what they like and there’s no complaints because there’s so many different options to choose from, everyone is happy. It’s such a simple stressful way to make dinner.

  • I absolutely adore finger food and this style of feeding people when we have family and friends at our home; or when we go out for a picnic, bbq or get together. These types of food are so easy to source and to buy and to prepare and to happily eat.

    • Yes I agree, finger foods are easy and yummie ! And you can assemble a healthy enough plate (certainly when you add salads, cheeses, nuts, fruits, boiled eggs, olives and rustic breads) that it can certainly can replace a meal (either lunch or dinner). Everyone happy and no hours of preparation in the kitchen :)

      • Also; the other bonus is less mess to clean up when cutlery is not needed. Finger food is the best for laid back and relaxed get togethers. There is always such a clam and relaxed feel to a finger food meal without the need for any fancy and stuffy table settings.

  • I love the looks of different finger foods. I don’t think it is hard to put something together and I had many afternoons hanging out with many mums and all the children at the Cul the sac we then lived. At times I had 8 mums coming with over 40 kids. Many sweet memories indeed

  • Charcuterie Boards and Antipasto boards are so good. I love them, i love the variety of foods you can put on them and they are so great for entertaining and enjoying with family or friends. It is something i like to make whenever i have friends over as you can enjoy and pick away while you are catching up. Great entertaining option.

  • I absolutely adore an antipasto spread. There’s nothing better than having a colourful plate of charcuterie and antipasto shared with loved ones. I grew up with my Mum making the most lush, long table of nibblies on celebrations and it’s something that my siblings and I carry on today. It brings us all together.
