Preparation
HEAT a medium non-stick skillet over low heat. Add pumpkin seeds and cook, stirring frequently, until seeds are warmed through and slightly golden brown in color, 4-6 mins. Set aside.
COMBINE Mango Habanero Sugar, Italian Herb Spice Blend, Chile Lime Sea Salt, vinegar, shallots, mustard, and Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil in a small sealable airtight container. Shake vigorously to create vinaigrette. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Chill until ready to use.
