 is a Spanish culinary term for the pumpkin seed, the edible seed of a pumpkin or squash. The following recipe is based on Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger's recipe from The Boarder Grill in Los Angeles. Their version of this salad uses pomegranate Seeds and jicama. Also, if you are serving buffet style spinach is a good green to use. It's less delicate than lettuce and doesn't go as limp. I had never "limed" a pepitas before, but now I hooked! data-pin-do=)
