Ingredients:
SALAD
- 1kg Pumpkin, cut into wedges
- 2 Tbs Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 2 Red Onions, cut into wedges
- 2 cups Quinoa
- 1 Head Radicchio, roughly torn
- 1/2 Cup Corriander, roughly chopped
- 400g Can Chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 Cup Pumpkin Seeds, toasted
- 1/4 Avocado
- Sunflower seeds to garnish
DRESSING
- 1/4 Cup Tahini, Unhulled
- 1 Tbs Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 Lemon, juiced
- 1 Tbs Tamari
- 1/2 Tsp Ginger Powder
- 1 Tsp Ground Turmeric
- 1 Clove Garlic, finely grated
- 1/2 Tsp Maple Syrup
- 1/3 Cup Water
Method
- Preheat your oven to 220°C. Place the pumpkin and half the oil on a baking tray and toss to coat. Roast for around a half hour, or until your pumpkin is tender. About half way through, add the onion wedges.
- Rinse your quinoa thoroughly under cold water using a fine mesh strainer, while gently rubbing the seeds together with your fingers to help remove the saponins.
- Add 1 cup quinoa to 2 cups of water or stock in a pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer for 15-20 minutes with the lid on, until tails appear.
- Remove the lid and leave to sit until all liquid is completely absorbed. Fluff up quinoa lightly with a fork.
- While your pumpkin finishes up roasting, make your dressing. No blending, just whisk all dressing ingredients together until well combined and creamy. Transfer your dressing to a jar and place in the fridge until your ready to serve up your salad. Dressing will keep for 5 days.
- Add your roasted pumpkin, onion, radicchio, coriander, chickpeas and pumpkin seeds to the cooked quinoa. Divide amongst bowls and drizzle over some turmeric tahini dressing, top with avocado and a sprinkle of sunflower seeds, and enjoy!
