Green salad doesn't have to be boring. Oh no! I've made this recipe extra special with slices of pear and apple, plus a quick, tasty pumpkin seed dressing.

Ingredients
For the pumpkin seed dressing
- 4 tablespoon pumpkin seeds divided
- 5 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- salt and pepper
For the green salad
- 4 cups (250g) mixed lettuce leaves
- 1 ripe pear
- 1 apple
To serve (optional)
- Small handful of fresh parsley chopped
- 2 tbps pumpkin seeds reserved from the dressing
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds white, black or mixed
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Heat a dry frying pan over a medium heat, then add the pumpkin seeds and toast them for a few minutes, shaking often until they just start to darken slightly. Reserve 2 tablespoons of them to garnish, and pour the remainder into a food processor or blender. Add the rest of the dressing ingredients, plus 2 tablespoon of water, and blitz until fairly smooth.
- To assemble the salad, chop the radicchio into bite sized pieces and add them to a large serving bowl with the other salad leaves then toss.
- Core the pear and apple and thinly slice them with the skins on. Add them to the salad along with the dressing and toss.
- Serve sprinkled with the parsley, reserved pumpkin seeds and sesame seeds and season with salt and pepper.
