Tip

This recipe is traditionally done with Roasted Pumpkin, but can so easily get burnt in the oven and I think it turns out just fine steamed! If you wish you can lightly sautee your pumpkin pieces on a pan before steaming to get the 'roasted' effect!

Otherwise if using leftover roast vegies, then it's just a dressing task in the Thermie! Works well with carrot, sweet potato and regular potato also.

This salad is also delicious with approx 70g lightly pan-toasted walnuts or pinenuts (use dry pan), then remove and add to pan approx 150g thin strips of crispy prosciutto or bacon added, as well as 1/4 red onion, sliced.

    Wow! This salad is amazing, worth the effort, restaurant quality! I recommend sautéing the pumpkin in a frying pan before steaming. I also added the toasted walnuts, bacon and red onion. The honey dressing is delicious. I could eat this everyday. YumLove
