This is the perfect salad for a BBQ or family gathering, I like to use this as a stand-by at BBQs for my beloved vegetarian friends -- but have also thrown in some chicken and served it as a main dish with hot french bread and garlic sautéed mushrooms, red peppers and onions on the side.

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh parsley (or 3 tablespoons dry parsley works fine too)
1/2 teaspoon basil
1/4 cup parmesan cheese (grated or powder will work)
1/3 cup olive oil (I have also used coconut oil, but not recommended unless you prefer the flavor)
3 -5 tablespoons lemon juice (to taste)
3 -5 tablespoons red wine vinegar (also to taste)
1/4 cup pine nuts (preferably toasted)
2 -4 garlic cloves, minced (depending on how much you love garlic!)

1 teaspoon salt
1 cup crumbled feta cheese (about 8 ounces)
3/4 cup roasted red pepper, sliced in thin 1/2 strips
1 English cucumber (sliced at about a 1/4 inch and halved or quartered)

Steps:

  • Boil chosen pasta al dente, drain (stir in some butter or olive oil to keep it loose) and allow pasta to cool.
  • Combine all dressing ingredients into a blender or food processor and pulse until pine nuts have broken down and all ingredients combine (Important! Add/subtract dressing ingredients too taste!).

Tips:

  • Choose the right pumpkin: For the best flavor and texture, use a sugar pumpkin or a small pie pumpkin. These pumpkins have a sweet, nutty flavor and are less watery than other varieties.
  • Roast the pumpkin: Roasting the pumpkin brings out its natural sweetness and caramelizes the edges. For the best results, roast the pumpkin at a high temperature until it is tender and slightly browned.
  • Use a variety of nuts and seeds: Pine nuts, walnuts, and pumpkin seeds all add a nice crunch and flavor to this salad. Feel free to use other nuts and seeds that you like, such as almonds, pecans, or sunflower seeds.
  • Don't skimp on the feta cheese: Feta cheese adds a salty, tangy flavor to this salad. Use a good quality feta cheese that is made from sheep's milk or a mixture of sheep's and goat's milk.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing for this salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. This makes it a great option for a quick and easy lunch or dinner.

Conclusion:

This warm pumpkin, pine nut, and feta salad is a delicious and healthy fall recipe. It is perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it can be easily customized to your liking. With its roasted pumpkin, crunchy nuts and seeds, tangy feta cheese, and flavorful dressing, this salad is sure to please everyone at your table.
