I work in natural foods and some of the items we sell at the store, such as pepitas, dried apple chips, and apple cider vinegar, inspired me to create this recipe. Pepitas are Mexican pumpkin seeds and a perfect crunchy topping for this fall-influenced salad.
Ingredients
- 0.25 cups hulled pumpkin seeds , pepitas
- 1 teaspoon olive oil , Optional
Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Toss pepitas with 1 teaspoon olive oil in a bowl; spread onto a baking sheet.

Toast in the preheated oven until pepitas start to turn golden brown and become fragrant, about 5 minutes. Let cool.
-
3
Combine 1/3 cup olive oil, vinegar, sugar, mustard, mayonnaise, shallot, and black pepper together in a container with a tight-fitting lid. Screw on lid tightly and shake dressing vigorously.

Toss the toasted pepitas, dressing, romaine lettuce, spinach, apple chips, cranberries, and bleu cheese together in a large bowl.

Heirloom Tomato Salad with Nectarines, Avocado, and Arugula
With farmers' markets overflowing with the most wonderful summer produce, what better way to embrace this seasonal bounty than a salad that combines fresh heirloom tomatoes, peppery arugula, white nectarines, and sliced avocado. A bright, simple vinaigrette of extra-virgin olive oil and white vinegar brings out the fresh flavors. A generous sprinkle of flaky sea salt tops it off!
