Tips:

  • Choose the right butternut pumpkin: Look for a pumpkin that is firm and heavy for its size. The skin should be smooth and free of blemishes.
  • Roast the pumpkin properly: Preheat the oven to the correct temperature and roast the pumpkin until it is tender and caramelized.
  • Use a variety of greens: This salad is a great way to use up any leftover greens you have in your fridge. Arugula, spinach, and kale are all good choices.
  • Don't skimp on the feta cheese: Feta cheese adds a salty, tangy flavor to the salad that complements the sweetness of the pumpkin and the bitterness of the greens.
  • Make the dressing in advance: The dressing can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. This makes it easy to assemble the salad when you're ready to eat.
