Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb (700 g) kabocha squash
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp heavy cream or more
- 1-2 tbsp honey
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup pecans chopped
Instructions
- Prep the Kabocha Squash: Wash the skin thoroughly. Cut the squash in half and remove the seeds. Keep the skin on and slice the squash into wedges.
- Steam Kabocha: Place the slices in a steamer and steam for 5-10 minutes. You'll know it's done when you can easily poke a chopstick through a slice.
- Mash and Mix: In a large bowl, roughly mash the kabocha, skin and all. It's okay to leave some chunks. Stir in mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, honey, and heavy cream. For a creamier texture, feel free to add a bit more cream. Season with salt according to your taste. Mix in the chopped pecans for crunch.
- Serving Options: You can serve the salad warm, or you can chill it in the fridge until you're ready to eat. See note below for presentation tip!
Notes
- Optional Additions: Raisins or cranberries can infuse the salad with additional sweetness and a splash of color.
- For an eye-catching presentation, consider using a large cookie (or ice cream) scoop to form the salad into neat balls on your serving plate.
