There are probably no such dishes that cannot be prepared from pumpkin. And if there are any, then their number is not at all impressive. But in any case, pumpkin salads are not a gimmick. Moreover, they are represented by dozens of recipes. Today I will tell you the recipe for one of them - a salad with pumpkin, Chinese cabbage and celery.
Pumpkin is used in salads, both raw and boiled or baked. The first option is used when its “neighbors” are other raw vegetables: carrots, apples, cabbage … If the salad contains meat or fish products, then the pumpkin will have to be preliminarily cooked. Since this recipe uses raw vegetables, the pumpkin is also raw. If desired, supplement the salad with meat products, boil or bake the pumpkin. You can supplement it with different components, because pumpkin goes well with cheese, eggs, nuts, green peas, radish, tomatoes, cucumbers. It also harmonizes with bananas, lemons, quince, grapes, etc. For dressing such salads mayonnaise or sour cream are rarely used. Vegetable sunflower and olive oil are considered "correct" dressing. True gourmets use a dressing made from low-fat yogurt, a small amount of vinegar and vegetable oil.
