Kale salad with roasted pumpkin, quinoa and a creamy mustard vinaigrette.
There is something really appealing about autumn salads with roasted vegetables – and this kale salad with roasted pumpkin, quinoa and feta has it all.
It is filling, crunchy, creamy and full of flavour – and it works just as well as a main-course salad as it does as a side for dinner.
The salad is made up of white quinoa, roasted pumpkin and chopped kale tossed with feta and crunchy pistachios – and it all comes together with a creamy mustard vinaigrette made with wholegrain mustard, honey, lemon, oil and a little mayonnaise to round it off.
You can easily make the salad earlier in the day and keep it in the fridge – and if you are lucky, there will be leftovers for your lunchbox the next day.
