Vegetarian salad? Also Cailin...a ???

[Tanya]

Most of my recipe books have been borrowed out so I am asking for some help.

For Chrissy lunch I have to take 2 salads... I want to impress of course and it will be fore both veggos and omnivores

I want a delicious salad, very nutritious (maybe with a few beans or lentils or even tofu tossed in).

Also Cailin... that yummy cheese dip? I might get Alecia to make it.... I am thinking of baking a couple of loaves of bread... one I will hollow out for the dip and the other for the dip....? Wadda yu think?

I think that sounds awesome hon.

As for your vego's are they vegan? Do they eat rennet in cheese?

You could make a Roast Pumpkin, Rocket, Caramlised Onion, Pine Nuts and Goats Cheese... (you can get rennet free goats cheese if they eat dairy)

Roast Veggie Salad w/hommus dressing

Will keep thinking...

We looove chick pea & pumpkin salad here

* 1.2kg butternut pumpkin, peeled, deseeded, cut into 2cm pieces
* 1/3 cup olive oil
* 1 teaspoon ground coriander
* 1 teaspoon ground cumin
* 400g can chickpeas, drained, rinsed
* 1 small red onion, halved, thinly sliced
* 1 large lemon, rind grated, juiced

Method

1. Preheat oven to 200°C. Lightly grease a large roasting pan. Combine pumpkin, 2 tablespoons oil, ground coriander and cumin in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to prepared pan. Roast for 20 minutes or until pumpkin is tender. Allow to cool.

2. Combine pumpkin, chickpeas and onion in a large bowl.

3. Combine remaining 2 tablespoons oil, lemon rind, 2 tablespoons lemon juice and salt and pepper in a jug. Pour over pumpkin. Toss until well combined. Serve.


We also usually add some baby spinach leaves. Hmmmm makes me want some for dinner tonight now

Yes they do eat rennet, I am a little more fussy and buy only veg rennet cheese.

LOL... Alecia just asked what rennet is and now is repulsed!! LOL So maybe that's a no!! BAHAHAHAH

ETA: That sounds really good, Sarah!! I love pumpkin in salads!! Can it be made before hand?

I've made it the day before without any problems, I just add the baby spinach at the last minute so it doesn't wilt.
