garnish of toasted pumpkin seeds or nuts, but the sky's the limit!)

Since I can never get enough of roast vegetables, I thought I would roast some carrots and butternut for their colour, vitamins and crunch (the carrots at least), lightly steam some thin green beans — ditto vitamins, colour and crunch, throw in a few kalamata olives and low fat feta and scatter over some finely chopped spring onion and a couple of
handfuls of toasted pumpkin seeds.
You can also hack sad salad bars by bringing along an avocado, a
jar of toasted pumpkin seeds, and a few packs of Patagonia's new smoked black pepper pink salmon.
Now fold the toasted millet, 1/4
