Sweet Pumpkin and salty Bacon are a delicious combination for this salad. Ham can be used instead of Bacon if you prefer. Use your favourite type of Pumpkin, but please be aware some types of Pumpkin tend to become very soft and wet when cooked. Those types are perfect for mushy salad. You can leave the skin on depending on the type of Pumpkin you use.

1

Remove skin, seeds and spongy bit of Pumpkin, cut into bite-size pieces. (You may wish to leave the skin on.) Cook until soft by boiling, steaming, roasting OR microwaving.
2

Meanwhile, cut Bacon (OR Ham) into small pieces. If you use Bacon, cook in a frying pan over medium heat. Thinly slice OR finely chop up Onion.

Combine Sour Cream, Japanese Mayonnaise, cooked Bacon and Onion (and Wholegrain Mustard if you add some) in a mixing bowl, add cooked Pumpkin pieces, drained very well, season lightly with Salt & Black Pepper, and mix to combine.
