Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

- Remove from oven and let cool slightly.

- Toast the hazelnuts for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown and fragrant. Be careful not to burn them.

- Sprinkle the toasted, chopped hazelnuts over the salad.
- Toss the salad gently to combine all ingredients.
- Serve immediately as a side dish or a light main course.
Tips:
- Ensure the pumpkin is cut into even-sized chunks for consistent roasting.
