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-
