Spinach, rocket, roast pumpkin & pan fried haloumi salad with a honey & basalmic vinegar dressing


I had tried this salad at Gemelle not long ago, and really fell in love with the flavours. I had never thought to put honey into a salad dressing, especially not with basalmic vinegar..!


So i went home & googled a recipe & found one on taste.com.au (link here).

I've made it twice now, and some tips are:


- make sure the pumpkin is scattered over one layer and not bunched up (so they dont get mushed together)

- make sure pumpkin is well cooled before mixing with salad leaves (otherwise you'll get wilted leafs)

- toss leaves with dressing first, before adding pumpkin & haloumi so that leaves are completely coated so you get full flavor in each bite!


I used a mixed baby spinach & rocket salad mix, but you can use any salad leaves that you want, its the yummy dressing that makes it sooooooo good.




Enjoy!
