Spread the prepared pumpkin & beets on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Drizzle in olive oil and sprinkle with salt and bake for 30 minutes or until cooked through and starting to soften.
Place spinach leaves and beet greens on a serving platter. If you are going for looks, leave them whole and place them nicely, if going for practicality, chop them and scatter them in a bowl.
Add the pumpkin, beets and sprinkle the feta, pinenuts and pumpkins seeds over top. Toss together if you like.
Add all dressing ingredients to a jar, screw the lid on tightly and shake until mixed together. You can also whisk them together in a bowl.
Pour the dressing over the salad and serve immediately, or refrigerate if you want to serve it cold.
