Kabocha Squash Salad with Dried Fruit and Nuts

1. 1

   Dried fruit will expand a little after absorbing liquid, so chop the larger pieces, like the mangoes.

2. 2

   You can use any dried fruit of your choice.

3. 3

   Preparation the night before: Add 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise to the yogurt.

4. 4

   Add dried fruit of your choice, mix, and keep in the fridge.

5. 5

   Next day: Cut the kabocha squash into 1-2 cm cubes, put them in a silicone steamer, and cover with a lid.

6. 6

   Microwave for 3-4 minutes.

7. 7

   If a bamboo skewer goes through the kabocha squash easily, it's ready.

8. 8

   Combine the yogurt from Step 2 and kabocha squash from Step 3.

9. 9

   Add nuts of your choice to taste, lightly mix together, and it's done.

10. 10

    You can enjoy it as a dessert, salad, bread filling, or however you'd like to.

11. 11

    This salad is also tasty without mayonnaise.

12. 12

    If you would like to have it as a dessert, I recommend using 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise (or even none at all).

13. 13

    If you would like to have it as a salad, I recommend using 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise, but adjust the amount to taste.

14. 14

    I toasted an English muffin, spread it with cream cheese, and topped with this salad.

15. 15

    It's sweet, sour, and made me feel happy in the morning.
