Roast pumpkin salad with goat cheese is low carb salad full of taste and healthy leafy greens. Delicious keto side dish or complete vegetarian meal.
This salad is great for all my lchf, low carb, keto vegetarian and gluten free readers. Nutritious leafy green salad with roasted pumpkin and goat cheese.
Instead of a goat cheese you can add some feta cheese or other similar cheese that you like. Feta cheese is delicious when prepared on various ways. I was baking feta cheese in the oven, and here you can find fantastic recipe!
In this recipe I was using a real Balkan goat cheese similar to feta cheese. It looks like feta cheese but it's made of goat cheese and it's less salty than feta.
TIPS TO MAKE DELICIOUS ROAST PUMPKIN SALAD WITH GOAT CHEESE
Roasted pumpkin
Do you like roasted pumpkin? Well, it's delicious! It reminds on sweet potato but much lower in carbs. Before roasting I just cut it in small cubes, season it with some coarse salt, pour it with olive oil and put it on a parchment paper.
After roasting I just seasoned it with some freshly ground pepper and ground red paprika. I add spices at the end because I don't like it burned on pumpkin.
Leafy green salad
For this salad you can use baby spinach, arugula, lamb's lettuce and other leafy green salads. I was using mix of all these salads but you can use any you like or what is available to you.
Just clean the salad and pour the dressing. Here, I use very basic dressing - salt, pepper, apple vinegar or balsamic vinegar and olive oil.
Almond flakes or pumpkin seeds
Sprinkle your salad with almond flakes! However, they are tastier if you roast them for a minute on a hot pan. It is also delicious if you use roasted pumpkin seeds.
