Pumpkin salad with feta and pine nuts - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, butternut squash or acorn squash work wonderfully as substitutes for pumpkin in this salad. They offer a similar sweetness and texture.
Sunflower seeds, pepitas (pumpkin seeds), or chopped walnuts make excellent substitutes for pine nuts, providing a similar crunch and nutty flavor. Toast them as you would pine nuts.
The salad is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The dressing may cause the salad to become slightly soggy over time.
This salad is already vegetarian! Feta cheese is a vegetarian cheese, making this a perfect meat-free dish.
Keep a close eye on the pine nuts while toasting, as they burn easily. Use medium-low heat and stir frequently to ensure even toasting.
This salad is delicious on its own as a light lunch or side dish. You can also serve it over mixed greens, with grilled chicken or fish, or alongside crusty bread.
Yes, pre-crumbled feta cheese will work fine. However, using a block of feta and cubing it yourself will usually result in a creamier texture and better flavor.
If you don't have fresh mint, you can omit it or substitute with a small amount of dried mint. Start with a very small amount (about 1/4 teaspoon) as dried herbs are more potent.
Yes, a balsamic vinaigrette would be a delicious alternative! It will add a slightly sweeter and more complex flavor to the salad.
