Ingredients

Butternut pumpkin

500 g, peeled, cut into 2cm pieces

Green string beans

200 g, trimmed, halved

Mandarin

3 medium, seedless variety

Balsamic vinegar

2 tsp

Whole grain mustard

1 tsp

Rocket

3 cup(s), baby (90g)

Beetroot, cooked without added fat

500 g, drained, cut into wedges

Red radish

2 large, thinly sliced

Fresh flat-leaf parsley

¼ cup(s), leaves

Oil spray

1 x 3 second spray(s)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Spread pumpkin over prepared tray. Lightly spray with oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until lightly browned and tender. Cool on tray.
  2. Meanwhile, place beans in a large heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water. Stand for 2 minutes. Refresh under cold water and drain well.
  3. Peel and segment 2 mandarins, set aside. Halve remaining mandarin and squeeze to extract 2 tablespoons juice. To make dressing, whisk mandarin juice, vinegar and mustard in a small jug until combined. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Arrange rocket, beetroot, radish, mandarin segments, parsley and beans on a large serving plate. Drizzle dressing over salad to serve.

Notes

To save on prep time, pre-cut raw pumpkin is available from the fresh food section in supermarkets.
