Instructions
Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut the peeled pumpkin into 2cm wedges. Cut the red onion into 2cm wedges. Cut the beetroot (unpeeled) into 1cm chunks. TIP: Cut the veggies to the correct size so they cook in the allocated time.
Place the pumpkin, onion and beetroot on an oven tray lined with baking paper. Drizzle with olive oil and season with a good pinch of salt and pepper. Spread in a single layer and roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. TIP: Beetroot retains a lot of its firmness when cooked. You can tell it's cooked when it can be easily pierced with a fork.
While the veggies are roasting, in a small bowl, combine the creamy pesto dressing and water. Set aside.
When the veggies have 10 minutes cook time remaining, cut or tear the ciabatta into 1cm chunks. In a medium bowl, combine the ciabatta chunks, garlic & herb seasoning and a good drizzle of olive oil. Spread over a second oven tray lined with baking paper and bake until golden and crisp, 5-7 minutes.
In a medium bowl, combine a small drizzle of olive oil, the balsamic vinegar and a pinch of salt and pepper. When the roast veggies and croutons have cooled slightly, gently toss the roast veggies, mixed salad leaves and croutons with the dressing. TIP: Toss the salad just before serving to keep the leaves crisp.
Divide the salad between bowls. Crumble over the feta and drizzle with the creamy pesto dressing.
