A salad so good that even a dog is excited about it!
This is my classic salad I always bring to events when I’m asked to ‘bring a plate’. It’s got so many tasty bits in it and so would be great to make for someone who finds salads ‘boring’.
Serves 5

600 – 700g Kent pumpkin

100g danish fetta, crumbled
handful / 30g dried cranberries

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
