Squid salad with pumpkin

Ingredients

Pumpkin pulp 300 g
Apples 3 pcs.
Fresh cucumbers 2 pcs.
Squid 200 g
Salt taste
For the sauce:
Lemon 1 PC.
Honey 1 tbsp. l.
Shelled walnuts 1 tbsp. l.
Natural yoghurt 125 ml

Cooking method

  • 1. Peel the pumpkin and cut into strips. Wash squid, also cut into strips. Place squid in one container, and pumpkin in another, pour boiling water so that the water only covers the food. Cover and leave for 25-30 minutes. 2. Wash the apples, cut into quarters and core. Cut the apples into strips, transfer to a dish with high sides. Drizzle lightly with lemon juice. Stir, close the lid and let it brew. 3. Wash cucumbers; peel using a peeler. Cut into thin strips. 4. Place the sliced ​​apples and cucumbers in a large dish. Add steamed squid and pumpkin, salt to taste. Mix. 5. Remove the zest from the lemon. Chop the walnuts with a knife. 6. Mix yogurt, honey and the remaining lemon juice in a mixer. Add zest and walnuts. Season the salad and stir.
  • My version and comments:
  • The ratio of pumpkin-squid-apples is different for me.
  • about 400 gr pumpkin
  • 500g squid (raw),
  • 2 sweet and sour apples
  • 3-4 medium cucumbers
  • a handful of shelled walnuts
  • half a red onion
  • lemon / lime juice
  • black pepper
  • salt
  • natural yoghurt or mayonnaise mixed with yoghurt for dressing.
  • For me, it turned out the most in the ratio of products. If, as in the original, pumpkins and apples, in my opinion, will be too much, and the squids will be completely lost ... I often replace lemon with lime (I just love them more). In general, you can vary according to your own taste. If your pumpkin is unsweetened, add apples so that the sweet-sour transition of the salad is expressed.
  • Next - I boil the squids. A minute or two, but in boiling water, not steaming. I cut the pumpkin into strips and steam as indicated .. Apples are also strips, sprinkle with lime / lemon and let stand. I clean the cucumbers, cut them into strips, squeeze them out, otherwise the salad will float in the juice. After steaming, drain the water from the pumpkin, squeeze the pumpkin.
  • As a dressing, I use either yogurt with freshly ground black pepper (lemon / lime juice is already there, I don't put honey, I haven't tried it) or mayonnaise mixed with yogurt.
  • I didn't like honey as an accompaniment to squid, and I have never tried to put it there. Judging by the zest, honey and the amount of pumpkin and apple, he generally conceived with a sweetish-fruity tone, but, in my opinion, then the squids will be discordant ... Although there are no comrades in taste and color, of course ... In my version it is delicious, for sure by prescription - unknown ...

Note

Fish and seafood go well with pumpkin. I write specially for the distrustful. I have been preparing this salad for a long time, but only now for some reason I was going to lay it out here. Pumpkin season. Newly collected, fresh and cute. Therefore, I personally used pumpkin recipes. There is always a lot of one pumpkin for one recipe and it starts: porridge with pumpkin, salad, pies with pumpkin filling ... And so on until it is all eaten and a new one is started ...

I didn’t know how to handle her before, but my mother taught me to use a pumpkin. And I was surprised that she became some exotic for us. This is such a great product!

This salad is Gastronomovsky, but I don’t remember exactly where. It seems from the site.

The taste is fresh and unbroken. Guests are often surprised that the base of the salad is pumpkin. Many do not even know what it tastes like. So let them find out ...

Behave with you and learn to eat pumpkin Previously, only cooked porridge, now in bread and pancakes. And here such a salad is a sin not to try. True, I'll eat a newspaper with a squid, not just a pumpkin
Scarecrow
As they say: with whom you lead - so you need!

My husband will give away any state secret for squid, so I gave him a pumpkin for the first time. Liked. Now he treats her without any prejudice ...

Scarecrow, in the photo I see onions, in the ingredients and description it is not

3rd time reading, in your comments I saw the floor of the bulb, in the description there is (
You probably don't need to steam it?
Scarecrow
marina-asti,

The ingredients contain the recipe as given. Original. I do NOT do the same as in the original recipe, which is why I highlighted - my version. And there was added onion, changed the ratio of ingredients and I am not using the original dressing. She's sweet too.

Steaming - ONLY pumpkin. Boil squids as usual (a couple of minutes in boiling water), everything else is fresh.

Onions can only be rinsed with cold water after slicing to reduce the spiciness. And pat dry with paper towels. This is if there is a desire. If not - well, don't bother with him.

Do MY version, which is described in the COMMENTS. I'm sure of him.

I highlight in big letters, because you are steamed now and slow down periodically))).
marina-asti
Scarecrow, so I'm looking at YOUR version, I just didn't find the bow in your comments right away, and decided to clarify whether it should float or not)
Scarecrow
marina-asti,

The bow does not need to be soared. He must be eaten!
marina-asti
Scarecrow, mustache! If we don’t take a salad on a visit, we will eat it ourselves with my husband! The main thing for him has now been bought!
Scarecrow
marina-asti,

Lay out the top layer with a pumpkin to keep up with the party theme. Put the sauce (yogurt with mayonnaise) somewhere below, and on top it is the orange pumpkin. And already in place on this top layer, you can draw a spider with a thick balsamic sauce, for example, with a cobweb. Or you can lay it out with olives.

Tus, but canned squids are not good?

I bought it for trial, I just can't figure out where they are ...

Scarecrow
Crochet,

I have no idea))). I have never tasted canned squid! Try them. They look like ordinary boiled ones - then they will go!
Now Marinka will also appear and wash me if I don't like the salad ...)))
marina-asti
No, I'm just going to hit someone for slandering me!
I didn't have time to make the salad, in fact, and correctly, because there was a buffet table and everyone was perfectly dragging everything from the table, so the salad will be either tomorrow, or on Monday to work, depends on my degree of laziness)))

I wanted to show you a back photo with glasses, but since you are so harmful, I won't show you

Try them.

I can not . I don't eat it ...

Even in my pre-vegetarian life I didn’t eat ... it was always whiter to me ...

To torture their own is also a bad thing, they only ate squid in salads ... and they didn't care, I chopped the canned ones there, or boiled ones ...

Need help from the audience, girls, who have tried both boiled squid and from a tin can, is there any similarity?

When I was praising saury here (manufacturer Dobroflot), I bought it and we really liked it, although canned food was rare in the diet. Since then I have been looking at Dobroflot products. Didn't like their squid !!! Twisted pieces in a cloudy liquid ... No, you shouldn't have taken it! Recently I bought their seaweed: the consistency is elastic (not overcooked), the color is green (not like brown in some canned food), the only taste needs to be worked out (in the process of preparing a salad or snack, you need to salt, season ...). You can try it, but you didn't like the squid!

squid did not like

That's Antonovka wrote that it was not hello, but her husband, she seemed to like it ...

Larissa, have you tried Dobroflot salmon caviar)?
Myha
Inna, no, I haven't tried it, but what do you hear about her? Is it worth taking?
marina-asti
What to do if the day off, and the husband is sick? Right! Go to the kitchen))) And since the main thing is to eat, you need to cook something "light" or "for later".
"For later" I put squash caviar for Omelkin (I save food), but I decided to make a salad for the easy part! Squids are tired of waiting!
So far I haven’t really tasted it, because I spread the beauty for 2 persons and I’m waiting for the darling to wake up, from the remains in the bowl I just pecked it - TASTY!

marina-asti,

No, there weren't many pumpkin buns, right? I finished it off ... She just finished me off with beauty for two persons! Michelin, you are ours, three-star straight !!!

Even if you don't like the taste, it's a bullshit question. The design overshadowed everything !!

How could I also marry you ..? You will feed me ... I eat a little, honest pioneer, but I love aesthetics, yes))) Oh, she still has to marry Tanya, she knows how to cakes.

You will feed me ...
You will die of hunger with me! Even with cups))) I really rarely cook!

There is pilaf in the refrigerator, but it was made by the store "Your House"
In general, we often use it when there is no time to cook, and the men at work need to be fed. They still cook relatively tasty!



We love salads vegetables / fruits / seafood - so I don't worry about the taste. All I wanted was to add French mustard to yogurt, but I didn't find it open, I was too lazy to look, I did it without it.
My husband loves Chinese cabbage / sweet and sour apples / shrimp salad, so yours will also like it!
Scarecrow
marina-asti,

Then send for Tanka together, eh? Take your husband too. And I'll take it. Cakes are a topic!
