You need to buy a 1.5kg piece of watermelon to get the amount of chopped watermelon needed for this recipe. Note

Tofu is a great and healthy meat alternative. It is especially good for soaking up flavours like those in the sauces and dips which often accompany Asian finger foods.

The addition of roasted pumpkin in this delicious tabbouleh dish adds a hearty, flavoursome note to this dish, making it filling enough to enjoy on it's own as a light lunch or as part of a big dinner spread.
