INSTRUCTIONS

SALAD

  • Peel the pumpkin and cut into thin slices. Marinate the pumpkin with 1 Tbsp of date syrup and let it sit for few minutes.
  • Meanwhile, peel each orange and slice them into rounds (removing the eventual pith).
  • Prepare a pan with a little olive oil, turn on the cooker into high heat and place the pumpkin slices into the pan. After two minutes of frying, turn the heat down to medium heat. Let it fry for about 7 minutes, turn over and wait more minutes until the pumpkin is ready.
  • While your pumpkin slices finish cooking, wash your salad (swiss chard, spinach or kale), drain it and place it on a big plate.
  • Heat a small pan over medium heat and roast the pumpkin seeds for 2 to 3 min.
  • Check out the pumpkin slices. If they are soft and ready to eat, take them out and place them on top of the salad.
  • Add oranges and sprinkle roasted pumpkin seeds on top.

DRESSING

  • Whisk all the ingredients together and drizzle over the salad ! Toss all the salad ingredients together and serve.
