Pumpkin salad with squid - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, shrimp or cooked octopus would be good substitutes for squid in this salad. Adjust cooking time accordingly.
Greek yogurt is a great lower sugar replacement, or sour cream thinned with a little milk or lemon juice can work in a pinch. You can also use mayonnaise, but it will change the flavor profile.
This salad is best consumed fresh. However, you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Be aware that the salad may become slightly watery.
Absolutely! Simply omit the squid. You might consider adding grilled halloumi cheese or chickpeas for added protein and texture.
A chef's knife or mezzaluna works perfectly for chopping walnuts. Aim for a slightly coarse chop to retain some texture.
Freezing is not recommended due to the high water content of the ingredients, which will change the texture upon thawing. It's best to prepare and enjoy it fresh.
You can prepare the individual components (steamed pumpkin and squid, chopped apples, dressing) separately and store them in the refrigerator. Combine everything just before serving to prevent the salad from becoming soggy.
This salad is delicious as a light lunch, a side dish, or even as a topping for toasted bread or crackers. Consider serving chilled or at room temperature.

Tried this pumpkin and squid salad out of curiosity, and it was an interesting combination! The sweetness of the pumpkin pairs nicely with the squid, though I think I slightly overcooked mine. The dressing brings everything together well. Not my usual kind of dish
