Elusive White Pumpkin Grain Salad

Here's an online version of my favorite grain salad from Charlie Trotter's vegetables book (it's also by far the easiest recipe in the book). The white pumpkin has been elusive for several years, but they are delicious. The seeds are tenderer than regular pumpkin seeds, which really need to be shelled before eating.

Tonight I made a version of this with brown rice, roasted butternut squash, toasted pecans, and olive oil. I like this better with one of the recommended oils, or walnut oil. The olive oil has too distinctive a taste. Still delicious, though.
