Mayo-Free! Sweet Potato and Kabocha Squash Salad
I modified a dish I was served at a friend's house.
The firmness of the kabocha and sweet potato differs, so make sure they are cooked by poking a bamboo skewer through before proceeding to Step 3. If they aren't cooked through, add a bit more milk and let it simmer. It should have a pretty loose texture, which is just fine since it will harden as it cools. That being said, the firmness should be to your liking, so adjust the simmer time accordingly. Recipe by Doremiredo

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Dry roast the sliced almonds in a frying pan or bake at 170℃ for 15 minutes. Peel the sweet potato and cut into bite-size pieces. Cut the unpeeled kabocha into bite-size pieces. Microwave the potatoes and kabocha for about 3 minutes covered in plastic wrap.
- 2
Simmer the potatoes and kabocha for about 10 minutes in milk just about enough to cover (about 300 ml). Do so over low heat and partially cover with a lid to prevent it from boiling over. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching. Simmer until a bamboo skewer pierces through easily.
- 3
Remove lid and stir the mixture with a rice paddle or rubber spatula, lightly mashing over low heat. Once it becomes creamy and soft, add honey and cinnamon powder and let some of the liquid evaporate. Make sure to keep stirring, since it's easy to burn it. The texture should be fairly loose and soft at this point.
- 4
Turn off heat and add the raisins and almonds. It'll harden as it cools, so it's fine for the mixture to be slightly loose. It's done once it cools.
