--- Instructions ---

Step 1 - Roasted pumpkin

  1. Preheat oven to 250°C/482° F degrees.
  2. Line one baking tray with baking paper.
  3. Place pumpkin in a single layer.
  4. Toss with oil, season with salt & spices and turn to coat both sides.
  5. Roast pumpkin, turning once until golden and tender ( needs about 20min).
  6. Set aside to cool to room temperature.

Step 2 - Tahini dressing

  1. Blend all the ingredients except water together until smooth.
  2. Whisk in water, 1 tablespoon at a time until the desirable consistency is reached.

Step 3 - Toast nuts and seeds

  1. Heat a small, non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
  2. Add nuts and seeds.
  3. Cook, stirring for 3-4 minutes, or until golden. The macadamia nuts will need a longer time to toast than the seeds.

Step 4 - Salad

  1. Mix together the greens and roasted pumpkin, and top with nuts.
  2. Add tahini dressing and toss.
