Maybe you can not get enough of the pumpkin season, or wonder what you can do with a bottle of pumpkin seed oil at home? Then you’re in the right place! I show you a flavorful fall salad dressing variation with pumpkin seed oil.

This pumpkin seed oil dressing is very aromatic, nutty, has a dark color, and fits perfectly into fall. Especially when you have guests over and want to serve up something special, I recommend serving your lettuce salad with this dressing. 

Pumpkin seed oil is very healthy, contains many important vitamins, minerals, and healthy fatty acids. It also stimulates the metabolism and is a natural cholesterol reducer.

I also always like to add a splash of pumpkin seed oil to my pumpkin soup, this gives the soup a more intense and nutty flavor!

Why not try this dressing with pumpkin seed oil next? It’s super quick to prepare and can be stored in the fridge for a whole week. You can serve it with any lettuce salad. 

Ingredients

See recipe card for quantities.

• Pumpkin Seed Oil → Use a high-quality oil for the best flavor.
• Balsamic Vinegar → White balsamic vinegar or any other mild vinegar works too.
• Mustard → I recommend Dijon mustard.
• Maple Syrup → If you don’t have maple syrup at hand, you can also use sugar or honey.
• Salt & Black Pepper → To taste.

Optional: Since pumpkin seed oil is rather thick, you can use some water or vegetable broth to dilute the dressing.

Variations

• Spicy – use spicy mustard!
• Herbs – add dried or fresh chopped herbs such as thyme, rosemary, or sage.
• Garlic – add one clove of minced garlic!
• Replace some of the pumpkin seed oil with extra virgin olive oil, so it becomes a little milder in taste!

Storage

Store the dressing in a mason jar in the fridge. It will stay fresh for at least one week.
