Pumpkin, Feta and Rocket Salad
This salad is so tasty, with soft pumpkin and feta, and fresh rocket. The honey in the sauce compliments the pumpkin amazingly, with the pine nuts adding some lovely crunch to the salad.
This recipe was easy to to throw together, the most time-consuming part was preparing the pumpkin. We have lots of rocket growing so crazily in our garden at the moment, I decided to use quite a bit of it, but this can easily be swapped out for baby spinach leaves.
