    I don’t like wasting food. Few years ago, I had to throw away pumpkins after Halloween because I didn’t know what to do with them, until I tried a delicious pumpkin soup. That’s when I thought that I can make use of the pumpkins we buy as decoration for cooking purpose too. So I started experimenting with pumpkin recipes (that didn’t come from a flavored canned sauce). One of my favorite pumpkin recipes is this Roasted Pumpkin, Spinach and Feta salad.

    Roasted Pumpkin, Spinach and Feta Salad Recipe

    This salad is very easy to make. It doesn’t require a lot of effort. Furthermore, it is very colorful and healthy! Kids love it which is always a bonus in my book because who has time to make several meals a day:). Also, this salad is easy to customize. You can use a favorite salad dressing instead of olive oil/vinegar. Or you can replace spinach with romaine lettuce. Feel free to use red or yellow onions instead of green onions. I would also add green bell pepper if available. Below is my original recipe, but definitely customize as you like:).
