Spring is just around the corner! This warmer weather means many things, including salads, as putting on the oven and heating up the house is a no go when its super warm. I love this bright colourful salad as a side dish of vegetables. It has lots of texture with the vegetables, feta and pumpkin seeds. You can add or omit whatever vegetables and ingredients you like. Toasted almonds or cashews would be a nice addition as well or raspberries or blueberries in place of strawberries. If you are like me and don't have much patience in the kitchen, cut the zucchini and carrot into batons instead of peeling them. Peeling does take longer however it is more aesthetically pleasing!
