This delicious pumpkin, feta and rocket salad is a lovely side dish that goes well alongside a bbq or as part of a pot luck dinner.
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.
