Roast Pumpkin Salad

Again, from the Weight Watchers 123 collection and is 2 points per serve. This dish is very easy to prepare and looks "flash" when served.

Roast Pumpkin Salad:

Ingredients:

2 cups of Jap pumpkin, peeled and chopped into chunks
freshly ground black pepper
80g black olives, pitted
80g fetta cheese
3 Tbs fresh oregano leaves, chopped
2 cups baby rocket/roquette
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 Tbsp olive oil

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 180*C. Coat a non-stock baking tray with cooking spray and arrange pumpkin in one layer on the tray; lightly coat with cooking spray and sprinkle with pepper. Cook for about 30 mins or until pumpkin is golden and tender. Allow to cool

2. Combine the olives, fetta, oregano and rocket/roquette on a serving plate. Add the cooked pumpkin. Toss gently.

3. Combine the balsamic vinegar and oil. Drizzle over the salad.

NOTE: For those less weight-conscious, you might also like to add your favourite nuts or seeds to this dish, or even some raisins, dried cranberries, or even some desicated coconut!
