My first recipe using a small variety of kabocha squash called "Bocchan".It's about 12 cm in diameter, and is sweeter than most other kabocha squash types. For 2 servings. Recipe by Ni-na41

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

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.

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 added some mixed beans and cheese to the kabocha squash salad I usually make for a lunch with friends.It's also good with canned tuna added. For 4 servings. Recipe by chokomi513

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

This is something I made when I first got married, so it's a recipe that's full of memories. These days, since we've been married for a while I haven't made it much...Letting the onions sit for a while after cutting will allow the water to drain naturally, so it is best to cut them from the beginning without rinsing in water.I used freshly picked kabocha squash, so it is yellow in color .As long as it's a delicious kabocha...

I make sweet potato and kabocha squash salad a lot, but something seemed to be missing so I added cream cheese. I added some sliced almonds to finish, copying some salads sold at delis.Please adjust the cooking times for the sweet potato and kabocha squash depending on the variety.Add the cream cheese to the vegetables while they're still hot so that it melts.The almond slices will start burning as soon as they turn brown, so watch them! For 2 to 3 servings (an easy to make amount). Recipe by yaburie

I came up with this to help speed up my digestion. It's a delightful salad with olive oil for sweet potato lovers.You can also try cooking the veggies in a pressure cooker. Adjust the seasoning to taste. Although it's a matter of taste, it tastes delicious with a generous dash of black pepper. Recipe by Yagirinonegichan

This is our family's standard kabocha squash salad recipe.You can add cucumbers or cabbage too. It's great on toast! For 4 servings. Recipe by Nikonikopu-san

I wanted to make a tasty kabocha salad for my child who can't eat mayonnaise and is allergic to eggs.If you don't add mayonnaise, salads usually dry out when left for a while, but the olive oil helps to keep this one moist.I chose olive oil because I read in a magazine article that it was safe for people with skin allergies. Potato salad can also be made this way. Recipe by Aroha55
