"Our favourite early summer salad. Be sure your Feta is not too salty, though the pleasure of this salad is the contrast between the salty cheese and dressing and the rich smooth flavours of the pumpkin seeds and the asparagus. Also the pumpkin seeds give it a great crunch. As a meal, the two of us will eat the whole thing."

Ingredients: pepper, ground cumin...

"This is a recipe from a cooking class taught by Doris Simms over 20 years ago, and it is still a favourite of ours. Doris shared many wonderful recipes.
This is untested with low fat ingredients, but I expect that by using them the bread would become too moist and not brown and crisp when baked, and thus would not be as delicious, or beautiful..."
