Mother's Day 2014
To celebrate the last few hours of Mother's Day 2014 I have decided to share my mum's baked chilli pumpkin salad. Now this is one of my favourite salads of all time and it is my mum's creation. This salad goes with almost any meal, is extremely healthy, tasty and simple to make! - what more could you ask for!?
Better yet, you can customise the ingredients to include whatever you fancy!
These are the ingredients that I love together in this salad:
- Chilli olive oil
- Butternut pumpkin
- Canned Chickpeas
- Sunflower seeds
- Croutons
- Feta cheese
- Garden salad leaves
The recipe goes like this:
1. It is as simple as cutting the pumpkin into squares (to whichever size you please), popping these squares onto a baking tray, glazing the pumpkin with the chilli olive oil and baking the pumpkin in the oven (180 degrees fan forced) for 40 minutes.
2. Whilst the pumpkin is cooking, add all other ingredients into a salad bowl (don't forget to drain the chickpeas first!). - It is entirely up to you for the ratios of each ingredient you want to use. - Once all ingredients are in the salad bowl, lightly toss around to mix the ingredients in. Once the pumpkin is cooked, leave to cool a little and then add the pumpkin pieces to the salad. Toss lightly, and you are ready to serve!!
Serving suggestion: For me personally, I love this salad with baked chicken and couscous!
This is such a simple recipe it will have all the guests talking or become a family favourite in no time. I hope everyone has had a wonderful Mother's Day!
