No Thermomix necessary for this one! Even though it is used to make the dressing, those without can make it by simply crushing the garlic and shaking all ingredients vigorously in a jar.

Salad
400g pumpkin, peeled, deseeded and diced into 1.5-2cm cubes (peeled weight)
1-2 tbs macadamia oil (or oil of your choice)
salt and pepper
140g baby spinach
40g rocket
150g feta cheese, diced into 1cm cubes
1 avocado, peeled and diced
2 tomatoes, halved and sliced into wedges
50g sesame seeds

Dressing
1 clove garlic
40g apple cider vinegar
30g tamari
30g sesame oil
30g raw honey

 

1. Preheat oven to 200°C (fan forced).

2. Place pumpkin on a lined tray and drizzle with oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove and set aside to cool.

3. Place sesame seeds in a small frying pan and toast until golden.

4. To make the dressing, place all dressing ingredients in mixer bowl. Blitz for 20 seconds/speed 8/MC on.

5. Into a large serving bowl, place the salad leaves then tomatoes, feta, avocado, cooled pumpkin and sesame seeds. Drizzle with dressing.

    I often make a salad similar to this but the sesame seeds and dressing really took it to the next level. Delicious!

    Yum, yum, yum. The sesame seeds are a great addition. Thus will be a regular dish in my house I think 🙂

    This was a delicious salad. I added some crispy bacon to the salad as well. It was a great success
