- Choose a pumpkin that is firm and has vibrant orange color as it indicates sweetness and freshness.
- Coat the pumpkin and carrot pieces evenly with the maple syrup mixture to ensure uniform caramelization.
- For an added crunch, consider tossing in some roasted nuts such as pecans or walnuts.
- Ensure the arugula is thoroughly dried after washing to prevent the salad from becoming soggy.
- Serve the salad while the pumpkin and carrots are still slightly warm for the best flavor experience.
