Ingredients
- 4 servings salad mix (e.g. corn salad, oak leaf, frisée or lollo)
- 1 pear(s) (ripe)
- 1 tsp sugar
- 150 g Hokkaido pumpkin(s) (with edible skin)

- 1 tbsp pumpkin seed oil

Instructions
- 1. Wash the salad thoroughly and remove any wilted leaves.

- 4. Roughly chop the walnuts. Toast them briefly in a pan without adding extra oil.
- 5. Whisk vinegar and spices together in a bowl. Slowly drizzle in both types of oil while stirring until well combined.
