This is one of my favourite salads. With most people going on health kicks in the new year i thought this would be the perfect time to share it with you. This salad is great to make for something bit more fancy but still really simple.

80g of Rocket
1/2 Butternut Pumpkin

Love this recipe, however you can save some washing up if you drizzle the olive oil onto the pumpkin on the baking tray and toss!

This is my idea of perfection - I love a simple, warm salad. Nuts and haloumi make this killer good!

I just went weak at the knees - love this. Though I would probably be naughty and add some chorizo to it too.
