This hearty salad is a wonderful combination of flavors and textures. Juicy greens complement roasted pumpkin, slices of natural sausage, and red onion rings, all dressed in a tart vinaigrette topped with grated ricotta salata (salted ricotta). For crispier edges, place the roasted pumpkin, sausage, and onion on a preheated baking sheet and bake.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Place the baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 245°C. Remove the hot baking sheet and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the sausage, pumpkin, and red onion, and season with salt and black pepper.
  2. Drizzle with another 2 tablespoons of olive oil and toss, then spread everything into a single layer. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake until the sausage and squash are golden brown and cooked through, about 25 minutes. Transfer to a plate and let cool.
