This is a great salad recipe and I am making it at least once a week and happy to share it with you.
Pumpkin is not only a decoration for Halloween but according to the USDA National Nutrient Database, one cup of pumpkin contains:
- 49 calories
- 76 grams of protein
- 17 grams of fat
- 0 grams of cholesterol
- 12 grams of carbohydrate (including 2.7 grams of fiber and 5.1 grams of sugar)
Quinoa is a great source of protein and has a relatively low glycemic index and it tastes great!
