Introduction
This is one of my favourite salads: superb with salmon; wonderful alone. If you don't have any pumpkin oil, simply replace both pumpkin and groundnut oils with good extra virgin olive oil.

I just made this for breakfast with rocket, spinach, kimchi, toasted pumpkin seeds, ACV and olive oil dressing, and added two poached eggs! Deviated slightly but delish.
Ideal during diet period, excellent. I just used toasted pine nuts instead of pumpkin seeds.
I made this salad yesterday and I had a cup of Everythings Rosey tea from Wild Women Tea Club. I just find out that pumpkin seeds are very good for your hormones.
I’ve been wanting to make this salad for so long as it’s my favourite ingredients. It was utterly delicious. So fresh & tangy from the lime. I quickly fried the pumpkins seeds in soya sauce to give it a little extra kick. Thank you Nigella, a beautifully clean way of eating fresh spinach. Goes great with spicy food.
I use Avocado oil and Extra Virgin Olive Oil and it’s delicious
This is one of the easiest salad recipes I know - so quick to put together. It's so good with smoked salmon. I've always used extra virgin olive oil but I recently found pumpkin oil in a local organic shop, so I might give it a try!
This salad is fantastic and easy. I heartily recommend it and serve it with smoked salmon, either cold smoked or hot smoked.
Super, Thanks, Just made pumpkin soup yesterday very simple kooking sliced up pumpkin adding half a tomatoboullonblock, some leek, sjalot, garlic and foeli (or nutmake). Turned out very well. I was just wondering what possibly to do with the pumpkin seeds Kind regards
