Salad with pumpkin, feta and jamon

I love tomato and cucumber salad in the summer, but in the winter it's impossible to make it with plastic vegetables. But in winter, pumpkin - a charming redheaded beauty that can be used to make both lunch and dessert - takes the stage. In salads pumpkin is wonderful and completely unrecognizable - when marinating it is filled with the aroma of garlic and piquancy of vinegar and successfully copes with the main role in the salad. In company with feta, ham, arugula and olives pumpkin creates a very tasty and flavorful salad, which is eaten even by ardent non-pumpkin lovers.
