First up I have pumpkin and beet salad, which is a delicious and healthy Australian inspired salad that incorportes roasted fresh pumpkin with beets, nuts and cheese.
It is perfect as a side salad for many autumn meals including those of the Mediterranean and of course Australia, and the USA as well.
