Quinoa Salad w/ Roasted Pumpkin and Orange

It is totally autumn here in the South of New Zealand; everything has turned yellow, gold and beautiful orange. Inspired by autumn; this salad is a celebration of warm sweet flavour and brilliant burnt orange colours. Roasted sweet pumpkin, wedges of orange, chickpeas and walnuts tossed through delicate quinoa with rocket, feta and dressed with a balsamic reduction. The orange really shines through and adds such wonderful flavour that really makes this warm salad.

Choose a nice piece of kent or butternut pumpkin and large juicy oranges. Although I haven’t tried it, I really think this salad would also work well with couscous instead of the quinoa, if you prefer. This is a truly yummy warm salad; full of flavour, texture and plenty of hearty ingredients to make a wonderful vegetarian meal or warm side salad. Enjoy!!
