The salad with chicken and pumpkin (also known as “autumn salad”) is a rich and nutritious dish. I made this salad by grilling the chicken and slightly toasting the pumpkin in a pan. I then enriched the salad with an apple, chopped walnuts, and Parmesan flakes. Finally, I dressed it with an emulsion of extra virgin olive oil, honey, and rosemary. The salad with chicken and pumpkin is perfect as a single dish, for example for an outdoor lunch, but also as a second course.

Preparation
To make the salad with chicken and pumpkin, first clean and slice the pumpkin, removing the seeds and peel. Pour a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and half a sprig of rosemary into a pot, place it on the stove, and heat.
Place the pumpkin slices in the pot with the oil and rosemary, and cook, turning occasionally. Remove from heat when the pumpkin slices are cooked and toasted. Then cut them into cubes.
Cook the chicken breast slices on the grill with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. When they are cooked and well browned, remove them from the grill and cut them into strips.
Peel the apple and cut it into cubes. In a small bowl, pour 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, a teaspoon of honey, and the other half of the chopped rosemary sprig. Emulsify with a spoon to obtain a homogeneous mixture.
In a large bowl, add the salad (washed and dried), chicken, pumpkin, apple, and Parmesan flakes. Also, add the chopped walnuts and dress everything with the oil and honey emulsion. Mix the salad with a spoon and serve. Enjoy your meal!
