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

You can make this quick salad with frozen and cooked kabocha. This could be a filling for your breakfast sandwiches.Cut the cucumber into a small dice, not slices. Whenever you buy a whole kabocha squash, cut into portions, microwave or steam, and freeze the unused portion. Reheat in a microwave anytime you need it.Use a potato masher to mash.

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

This is a re-creation of the type of kabocha salad they sell in department store food halls.I use a sweetened yogurt. If using plain yogurt, adjust the sweetness with sugar.You can add some almonds or walnuts to this too. Recipe by Eiyoushino recipe

When I made the salad with mayonnaise or yogurt, it was a bit too tart for me. I liked it with heavy cream.You should adjust the seasoning according to the size of kabocha squash. For the heavy cream, I recommend 35% milk fat heavy cream. Recipe by Hamumaki

According to the original recipe my sister-in-law taught me, it says to peel the kabocha squash, boil, and dry it in the pan, but I didn't want to remove the peel since it's highly nutritious. I just used the microwave to simplify the steps.You could use 2 portions (18 g) of "Kiri" brand cream cheese instead. If you don't like the peel of the kabocha squash, remove the peel. If it's too bothersome, you could skip mashing the kabocha squash. If you like your salad to be creamy, add 5 tablespoons of mayonnaise!! Adjust the amount of sugar depending on how sweet the kabocha squash is. For 4-6 servings. Recipe by Hinamatsuri

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.

I saw this side dish sold by weight in the supermarket. But I figured I could just make it myself at home! So I did. My kids have been requesting this kabocha salad ever since they were small.Please adjust the sweetness as necessary. Of course you don't have to use raisins if you don't want to. If you want to microwave the kabocha to soften it, add the sugar (a little less than the amount listed) and consomme when you're mashing the kabocha. Recipe by GELUGUGU
