Smoked Chilli + Roasted Pumpkin Salad
The second bowl of deliciousness thanks to Peace, Love and Vegetables. If you missed the first one, it was a ridiculously delicious mushroom burger and while I am down for a grain-free paleo burger any day of the week, this salad is a more likely daily meal for me and is how I incorporate fermented foods into my daily food. And also, roast pumpkin has got to be one of the most delicious things on the planet. If you’re looking for an interesting salad to change up your normal recipe, give this one a go, because I know one thing for sure, the flavour is absolutely bomb!
