Grilled Pumpkin Salad with Autumn Vegetables

Sweet pumpkin sliced get a smoky flavor when grilled, which is perfect for an autumn salad with kale and potatoes. Add in fall-fresh apples for a sweet crunch.

 1 ½ cups roasted pumpkin, sliced
 1 bunch kale, coarsely chopped
 6 small multi-colored potatoes
 1 apple, cubed
 4 poached eggs, 1 per serving
 2 tbsp Colavita Extra Virgin Olive Oil
 Fresh parsley for garnish
 Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
 creamy pumpkin dressing
 Optional: roasted and spiced pumpkin seeds for topping

1

Heat your oven to 400°F. Cube the potatoes, and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle them with Colavita Olive Oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place them in the oven and roast for about 15 minutes.

2

Heat up a grill or grill pan. Slice the meat from a roasted pumpkin into strips. Brush with Colavita Extra Virgin Olive Oil and grill about 1 minute on each side. Remove from the heat and set aside on a plate.

3

Rip the kale into bite-sized pieces and place in small, personal-sized bowls. Cube the apple and add it to the kale.

4

Add in the roasted potatoes, a sprinkle of the spiced nuts and drizzle with the creamy pumpkin dressing.

Top with a poached egg, some freshly chopped parsley, salt and freshly ground black pepper
