Fall Roasted Pumpkin Salad with chopped cabbage, kale, and green leaf lettuces (from our Lettuce Grow!) plus carrot shreds, green onion, chopped bacon, sunflower seeds and walnuts has all the flavors of fall. Add in this delicious creamy sweet onion dressing, and you will have a dish to serve all season.
The pumpkin is so easy to roast for this dish, and you can use up all your little pie pumpkins you used for your fall decor with this tasty salad. It is chock full of nutritious ingredients and is a great salad to take for Thanksgiving. Who said all the pumpkins needed to be in pies?
Tips for roasting pumpkin
Cutting and peeling the pumpkin before roasting cuts down on the roasting time. When I roasted the pumpkin for the salad, I set the timer for 5 minute intervals and then checked. I did this until the pumpkin was cooked through. My pumpkin was juicy and didn't roast extremely well, but the flavors were wonderful!
