Here is our first recipe for 2008. A nice easy one. It's a Roast Pumpkin Salad with a Sun Dried Tomato Dressing. Very yummy. And healthy too. The hardest part (or most time consuming) is dicing up the pumpkin to roast. Make this one up for a bbq or just for something different to break up the regular garden salads.
