autumn farm harvest salad

“We’re making this a lot at the moment at our farm café. All the veggies are organically grown on our regenerative farm in Freshwater Creek, Victoria – in this case, it's our roasted pumpkin, carrot, beetroot and baby kale, tossed with walnuts, goat’s cheese and coriander pesto dressing. It’s full of flavour and nutritious ingredients.”

Ingredients

    Salad

    • 3 beetroots, cubed
    • 10 Dutch carrots, halved
    • 200g pumpkin (we used Queensland Blue), cubed
    • 100g baby kale (or any baby leaf green)
    • Handful of walnuts
    • Handful of pumpkin seeds
    • 2-3 pieces of goat's cheese
    • Good glug of Mount Zero Frantoio Extra Virgin Olive Oil
    • Mount Zero Pink Lake Salt, to taste

    Coriander Pesto

    • 2 bunch coriander, finely chopped
    • 2 garlic chives, finely chopped
    • ½ cup Mount Zero Frantoio Extra Virgin Olive Oil
    • Juice of 1 lemon
    • Mount Zero Pink Lake Salt, to season

    Directions

    1. Toast walnuts and pumpkin seeds in a pan until they've got some nice colour.
    2. Toss the beetroots, carrots and pumpkin in extra virgin olive oil and a generous sprinkling of pink lake salt. Roast for 40 mins at 180 degrees Celsius.
    3. For the coriander pesto, combine all ingredients in a blender jug and pulse until it forms a coarse consistency. Don't overdo it, or the pesto will heat up from the blender and lose its vibrant green colour.
    4. Toss leaves, roasted veggies and pesto together in a bowl.
    5. Finish with toasted walnuts, pumpkin seeds and goats cheese.
