I experimented a lot before coming up with this recipe. My mother-in-law, who's a great cook, always praises this salad too! My family likes rice and dense flavors so I use 3 cheeses and mayonnaise in it.Use the recommended cheese, and be sure to get rid of any excess moisture. Please adjust the cooking time depending on your microwave. If you need to heat it for longer, don't forget to cover it with plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out. For 2 to 3 servings.

Since I keep a stock of frozen kabocha, I used it to make a salad.When mashing with the fork, try to achieve a smooth consistency!!Unsweetened yoghurt is also fine.Using the unsweetened type highlights the natural sweetness of the kabocha.With sweetened yoghurt, it becomes even sweeter and more delicious. For 2 servings. Recipe by Chi-zusan

This is a salad I made at a friend's house. It's actually her grandmother's recipe.I remember being surprised at how it seemed like a modern recipe--it's certainly not an old-fashioned taste!The trick is to boil the kabocha in consomme stock. Also take care not to over-boil the kabocha and thoroughly drain and cool it after boiling.You can add seasonings as you like.But it's plenty delicious as-is.Thanks to everyone's suggestions, I'm now using the water leftover from boiling to make soup! It's probably best to use quite a lot of water. Recipe by Kinakorin

I wanted to eat an easy, yet nutritious kabocha squash salad that could be a bread filler, salad or dessert.Combining yogurt and dried fruit the night before makes the dried fruit nice and moist and the yogurt will taste just like cream cheese the next day.If you don't have enough time, you can just let them sit for 1-2 hours.Dried fruit and kabocha are naturally sweet, so I recommend using unsweetened yogurt.

I came up with this idea thinking it'd be fun to attach eyes to a Mont Blanc. Since it'd be too commonplace to make them desserts, I made them into single servings of salad.If you don't have a food processor, mash the kabocha with a potato masher and evenly stir in the seasoning ingredients with a spatula.For the decorating tip, I used a Mont Blanc cake nozzle, but you can improvise with whatever you have on hand.
