The dressing is a creamy, tangy mixture of organic pumpkin puree, spicy brown mustard, olive oil, pure maple syrup, and spices. Just whisk it together in a small bowl. It's like a seasonal twist on honey mustard!

This meal makes a perfect kid's plate too --- with Autumn Glory apple slices, steamed edamame, cooked quinoa, freeze-dried mango pieces, and salad. Just make sure that you chop the pecans smaller, depending on the age of your child. You could also serve some rotisserie chicken with it and extra pumpkin dressing for dipping.
