I toasted pecans in a dry pan instead of using pepitas. Delicious!
This is a flat out excellent salad. Simple to construct, pretty, crunchy with pepita, soft touches of goat cheese, the orange zest in the dressing is a great complement to cranberries. This will return to the the table many times!
I tried doubling it but it ended up with way too much oil. Next time I will use less.
This is a tasty salad with a nice light flavor. I’ve made it with pecans or slivered almonds too.
Used pecans instead of pumpkin seeds, feta in place of goat cheese and doTerra orange essential oil in place of orange zest. Brought to a party, got a lot of complements and the bowl was empty.
