Pumpkin salad - 8 cooking recipes

In autumn and winter, all of us have the opportunity to use one of hundreds of interesting pumpkin salad recipes to prepare and treat our family and friends. This dish is not only tasty - it also looks beautiful, if, of course, you pay more attention to its appearance.

What kind of pumpkin should I use to make a salad? To prepare a pumpkin salad, essentially any pumpkin that is available is suitable (since most recipes include it boiled or baked). That is, if this vegetable is moderately watery, you can correct this problem by baking it in the oven/slow cooker. And dry and dense ones can simply be boiled.

As for the sweetness of pumpkin, it’s a matter of taste, as you like. You can choose a sweeter option or, conversely, choose a neutral one to suit your taste. If your salad recipe contains meat, sweet pumpkin can go well with it.

Another great way to prepare pumpkin for adding to a salad is to marinate it. You can use any suitable marinade for vegetables for this, cold or, in Korean, hot. You can also choose a set of spices for yourself. What's good about this method? The fact that pickled pumpkin can replace Korean carrots in the recipe of any salad in which it is included. Especially if you process it with the same grater, cutting it into long thin straws.

Pumpkin is good in almost any salad, light, hearty, with vegetable oil, mayonnaise, warm, cold, puff, mixed, in a cocktail salad. Depending on the method of cutting and preliminary preparation, pumpkin can be combined with any other products, including vegetables, fruits, berries, cheese, meat, fish, seafood, cereals, legumes, and herbs.

If this is your first time making pumpkin salad, start with potatoes - both vegetables complement each other great.
