    📋 Ingredients

    Here are the ingredients (amounts are in the recipe card below).

    Ingredients for Kabocha Squash Salad With Egg
    • Kabocha squash: Choose a kabocha squash that is dark orange and has plump seeds.
    • Boiled egg: Boiled on medium heat for 10-12 minutes.
    • Dressing: lemon, mayonnaise, yogurt, salt, honey. I use raw lemons, but you can also use bottled lemon juice or vinegar. If you don't have honey, you can substitute it with sugar (or you can omit honey if the kabocha is sweet enough).

    🔪Instructions

    Ok, let me walk you through how to make it step by step. You can watch this video as well.

    Here you go! This creamy, and beautiful orange color salad is the great side for your lunch or dinner.

    Boiled eggs don't last very long after peeling, so try to eat them by the next day.

    What to serve with

    If you wonder what to serve with, how about rice and miso soup? Here is one example:

    • Chickpea ketchup rice
    • Nori tamagoyaki
    • Daikon miso soup
    • Cherry tomatoes
    • Okura

      This looks delicious! Do you eat this as a small main dish? If not, then what do you usually pair this dish with?

        Hi Ana, thanks for your comment! I would usually pair it with rice and miso soup. For example, I had ketchup rice, tamagoyaki, miso soup and put this kabocha salad as a side. I added the photo in the post (the section called "What to serve with") so please check it out. It is also good to serve with pasta or toast. I hope you like the idea!

              Hi Juri The kabocha salad was delicious!! We had the salad wrapped in cosberg lettuce with a side of steamed artichoke and herb aioli. My husband does not usually like boiled egg but loved this dish! I substituted 1tablespoon of kewpie mayonnaise with yoghurt as we are trying to loose weight and made the kabocha up to 330g and an added an additional egg as we had this as a main. The dressing was so bright, light and flavourful. Thanks again.

              I’d love see soup recipes and any make the night before type of meals if you have any ideas. We generally eat to 1,200 calories a day so I’m always on the look out for healthy options.
