Curried Pumpkin and Cauliflower Salad
Make on Fresco
Salad creations are kind of my thing. That and dessert. I am not afraid of creating 'Asian' dishes either...but I digress. This turned out sooo well, that I just had to take a quick pic and get it up here for you all to try! It will make the perfect next day lunch, is great with anything grilled (we had chicken). Add herbs at will. And of course the very deep hued Ikea plate didn't hurt how good it looked either!!
Hope you love it too!

Add seeds to the salad.

To make the dressing, stir everything together in a bowl.

When you are ready to serve, add the roasted pumpkin to the salad along with the dressing and stir gently to coat everything in dressing. Serve immediately. This will keep for a day in the fridge, but after that you are out of luck! The herbs tend to go a little soggy with the dressing.
