Pumpkin salad with arugula and feta cheese is the embodiment of lightness and sophistication of Italian cuisine. Tender, slightly sweet butternut squash, roasted to softness, harmonizes with the tangy feta that adds creaminess. Fresh arugula gives the salad a spicy note, while toasted pumpkin seeds add a pleasant crunch. Extra virgin olive oil brings all the flavors together, creating a balanced and rich composition. This salad is perfect for a light dinner or stylish entertaining and pairs wonderfully with main dishes of fish or meat. Italians appreciate such dishes for their simplicity and naturalness as they highlight quality ingredients and the right flavor combinations.
