Following on from my post on Banting and the Parmesan Chicken Recipe, here is another Banting recipe from Tim Noakes’ Book The Real Meal Revolution – Spiced Pumpkin and Goats Cheese Salad. I must say that Goat’s Cheese isn’t my favourite so I substituted mine with feta and it was delish! Next time I’m going to try blue cheese…can you just imagine that combination?! You could even try Chevin, Pecorino or Parmesan.
