Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with baking paper.
  • Spread the pumpkin onto the baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast the pumpkin in the oven for 30 minutes, or until tender. Remove from the oven, transfer to a large bowl and set aside to cool slightly.
  • Now roast the pumpkin seeds and pine nuts in a dry pan over a medium/high heat. Keep moving the seeds and nuts around the pan to stop them from burning.
  • Add the seeds and nuts to the pumpkin along with the chopped tomatoes and gherkins.
  • Make the dressing by combining all the dressing ingredients in a bowl, season to taste with salt and pepper. Drizzle the dressing over the pumpkin, give everything a good mix to combine and serve immediately.
