Roasted Pumpkin, caramelised onion, marinated feta, toasted almond and baby spinach salad

So basically all of the ingredients are listed in the title. Sorry forgot to take a photo of this one.

Kent pumpkin (skin on). Cut into chunks. Coat with olive oil. Roasted on 200 degrees c for about an hour. Until outside changes to a dark caramel color.

Cut a red onion into fine slices. Put in a pan with a little olive oil, a couple of teaspoons of sugar and some water. Cook until lovely and caramel.

For the marinated feta you can make your own, or cheat like me. I buy Yarra Valley Feta marinated in olive oil, garlic and rosemary. Lovely. Use as much as you like, there is no dressing to this salad so this will form a lot of the flavour so make sure to include some of the oil to coat the salad.

Toast some almonds (whole or slivered) in a pan until brown.

Put baby spinach leaves in a salad bowl and add all the other ingredients. Toss together. It's a real crowd pleaser.
