Aunty Pam's quinoa salad with roasted pumpkin and orange

Preheat oven to 200C. Place pumpkin, beans, spring onions and wedges of 1 orange into a dish with 2tbls of olive oil and cook in the oven for 20-25 minutes. The pumpkin should be tender and the beans should be crispy. Bring quinoa, water and juice of 1 orange to boil in a pot then turn down heat and simmer with the lid on for 10-15 minutes. In a large bowl mix the cooked quinoa, pumpkin mix, walnuts, rocket, feta and balsamic vinegar and eat.

Mexican style bean, corn and almond salad
• 1 can beans
(this time I used red kidney beans, but again, use whatever you have)
• 2 sweet corn cobs • 1 avocado roughly diced
• 100g almonds roughly chopped
• 200g cherry tomatoes roughly chopped

Boil the sweet corn then slice the kernels off the cob. Discard the cobs and
mix all the ingredients into a bowl.
