Instructions
Prepare the dressing by adding all the ingredients into a small blender, you can also mix by hand with a whisk. Mix until well incorporated and turns into a thick dressing. Taste and add any extra seasonings to preference.
Optional, toast the pumpkin seeds. I like to do this by spray them with a bit of spray oil add a sprinkle of salt and pepper and then let them cook on the stove over medium heat for 5 minutes shaking the pan occasionally. You can also enjoy them raw and untoasted in the salad.
Assemble the salad by adding all ingredients except for the sesame seeds. Pour over the dressing. Toss to coat everything evenly.
Sprinkle sesame seeds over top for garnish and enjoy.
