Notes
Cut the pumpkin cubes evenly. This will ensure that the pumpkin cooks evenly in the oven.
Use double-creamed feta for the best taste. This type of feta is creamier than some of the generic brands at the grocery store. Head to your local cheese store to find this type of feta cheese.
Only dress the salad right before serving. Dressing a salad too early can cause the salad to become soggy and not taste so fresh.
