This is the most awesome festive recipe – kabocha squash salad with insanely delicious (and moreish) maple spiced pecans. I can just imagine serving it at a summer picnic – perhaps with this Sundried Tomato and Spinach Quiche<\/a> (GF, V), and individual Summery Berry Mousse Cups<\/a> for dessert.<\/p>\n

Kabocha Squash Salad with Maple Spiced Pecans<\/h2>\n

Back to the salad. I love the combination of colours just as much as the flavours – the bright green and orange of the rocket and the kabocha squash with pops of red from the pomegranate arils.<\/p>\n

My favourite<\/em> part however is without a doubt the crunchy pecans. These are quick as a flash to make, using a bit of an unusual combo of spices. Pure maple syrup, cinnamon, turmeric powder, garlic and onion powder, sea salt and pepper. I’m not quite sure what made me add the onion and garlic powder to the mix, but they turned out delicious, so let’s just run with it.<\/p>\n
