Green salad with pumpkin and feta
2 servings
30 minutes
Green salad with pumpkin and feta is an exquisite blend of freshness and warm autumn notes. This recipe comes from European cuisine, where the balance of flavors and textures is appreciated. Roasted pumpkin, soft and slightly caramelized, perfectly complements the tangy feta and crunchy pumpkin seeds. The light acidity of balsamic vinegar and the sweetness of honey create a refined depth of flavor. This salad works well as a standalone dish or an elegant addition to a main dinner. It offers a sense of lightness while still being satisfying due to the combination of healthy ingredients. Ideal for the autumn-winter season when one craves something cozy but not too heavy.
