Dead Simple Pumpkin & Blue Cheese Salad

Serves 4

Pumpkins! What a gift of nature – they are such a versatile ingredient for cooking, colourful, they last a long time once harvested, and most importantly they go very well with blue cheese! A simple salad like this can help to add a bit of colour in the long winter months.
