Goat Cheese, Baby Spinach and Roasted Pumpkin Salad Recipe

Everywhere you turn pumpkins are all over the place- small, big, engraved as Jock-o-Lantern or as Joanna serves it - roasted and mixed with goat cheese and baby spinach.  Here's what you need.  

Ingredients

• 50gr Goat Cheese
• 5 Butternut Pumpkin Slices
• 1 Bunch of Baby Spinach
