Make Roasted Pumpkin Salad with Pomegranate and Balsamic Dressing

Recipe Name: Roasted Pumpkin Salad with Pomegranate and Balsamic Dressing

Ingredients:
- 1 small pumpkin, peeled and cut into cubes
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 cup pomegranate seeds
- 1/4 cup chopped almonds
- Balsamic dressing (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin cubes, melted butter, chopped sage, and nutmeg. Toss well to evenly coat the pumpkin.

3. Transfer the seasoned pumpkin cubes to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spreading them out in a single layer.

4. Roast the pumpkin in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the cubes are tender and slightly caramelized. Stir halfway through to ensure even cooking.

5. While the pumpkin is roasting, prepare the balsamic dressing if you're making it from scratch, or simply take out your preferred store-bought dressing.

6. Once the pumpkin is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.

7. In a serving bowl, combine the roasted pumpkin cubes, pomegranate seeds, and chopped almonds.

8. Drizzle the desired amount of balsamic dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together to combine.

9. Serve the Roasted Pumpkin Salad with Pomegranate and Balsamic Dressing immediately as a side dish or a light meal. Enjoy!

Note: You can also add some fresh greens, such as arugula or spinach, to this salad for extra freshness and texture.
