Next toast some pumpkin seeds on a dry pan for five minutes moving around the pan every few minutes to prevent burning. Once they become fragrant, they are cooked. Sprinkle these over the salad.
Salad Variations:
You can change around the salad ingredients based on what you have available. It also works well with broccoli and cucumber.
You can leave out the toasted seeds for a quicker recipe or try toasting some other toppings such as pine nuts or flaked almonds.
If you like it spicy, this is also great with a little fresh chili.
