Recipe Box, Pumpkin Patch Salad
This salad looks fancy but it’s oh so easy
It’s just salad greens, sliced apples, cranberries, walnuts & pepitas
BUT! Put it on a pumpkin plate and add a perky orange pepper
Cut the top off so you can fill it with salad
Serve it with Ham & Cheese Pumpkin Pie “croutons”
With Pumpkin Vinaigrette on the side
And it’s a party in the pumpkin patch!
The Pumpkin Vinaigrette recipe is the brilliant creation of Chris at the Café Sucre Farine
What a great dressing for an autumn salad!
Just put everything in a jar and shake shake shake-

Apples, cranberries, walnuts & pepitas are the making for a delicious fall salad Jenna, but the pumpkin-maple vinaigrette takes it over the top along with your festive presentation! I love the pepper/ carved Jack and pie croutons 🙂
Jenna, your autumn salad looks so fresh and with the pumpkin maple vinaigrette it must be perfect and I love those pumpkin plates!

This all looks so good, and I love the jackolantern pepper! What really caught my eye, though, is your pumpkin painting – gorgeous!

I’ve used the cranberries and walnut package before and love it. The pumpkin puree dressing sounds wonderful, and I’ll bet the men at my house won’t even know it has pumpkin in it!
I like your little jack-o-lantern pepper:@)
Your salad looks and sounds delicious – and especially with the salad dressing. And those pumpkin shaped “groutons” are calling me! I’m swooning over your pumpkin plates, too. Love those! 🙂
