Middle-Eastern Chargrilled Pumpkin Salad

January 22, 2017 By Manu 1 Comment

Middle-Eastern Chargrilled Pumpkin Salad

I made this Middle-Eastern Chargrilled Pumpkin Salad as one of the side dishes for our Christmas Eve dinner, as it paired really well with the stuffing of the roast pork I had made. I loved the blend of Middle Eastern spices that goes into this warm simple salad. Sumac is one of my all time favourite spices and I’d put it on anything! I also really liked the refreshing garlicky yogurt dressing that cuts through the richness of the vegetables. Another thing I love is the addition of pepitas, that add some much needed crunch to the salad. This Middle-Eastern Chargrilled Pumpkin Salad would also go really well with grilled lamb cutlets. Enjoy!
