About Pumpkin, Black Rice And Sun Dried Tomatoes Salad

This gourmet salad is my choice for a savory side at a Holiday feast. It boasts of a melange of flavors ( imagine the earthy flavor of spinach, the nuttiness of the black rice, the sweetness of the caramelized pumpkin and the tartness of the sun-dried tomatoes ) that have just been brought together in a manner that invokes sheer delight without compromising on health. And I bet you would calling for the seconds instead of reaching out for those sinful desserts !!
