Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 200ºC.
  • Cut pumpkin into small cubes, toss in 1 tablespoon of macadamia or olive oil, season with salt and pepper and cook in the oven for around 20 minutes or until tender and golden.
  • Place baby spinach in a big bowl. Slice the red onion very finely, cut the roma tomatoes in half and add onion and tomatoes to the baby spinach.
