Main Ingredients- 1/2 medium pumpkin
- 2 slices cheddar cheese
- 4 slices bread
- 2 Tbsp dried cranberries
- 2 Tbsp sliced almonds
- 2 Tbsp chopped walnuts
- 1.5 Tbsp strawberry jam
Pumpkin Salad Dressing- 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp honey mustard sauce
- 1 Tbsp honey
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
- 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp honey mustard sauce
- 1 Tbsp honey
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, steam the pumpkin for about 20-30 minutes until very tender. Once the steam starts to rise, reduce the heat to cook it thoroughly. After steaming, let the pumpkin cool slightly, peel off the skin, and place it in a bowl. Mash the pumpkin using a fork or a masher until smooth. It’s important to mash it without lumps for a better sandwich texture.
Step 2
Add the ‘Pumpkin Salad Dressing’ ingredients – mayonnaise, honey mustard sauce, and honey – to the mashed pumpkin. Mix well until everything is evenly combined. Taste and add a tiny pinch of salt and pepper if needed to enhance the flavor. Finally, stir in the chopped walnuts, sliced almonds for nuttiness, and dried cranberries for a touch of tartness to complete the pumpkin salad filling.
Step 3
Now, let’s assemble the sandwiches! Take 4 slices of bread and thinly spread strawberry jam on one side of each slice. The strawberry jam will complement the sweetness of the pumpkin salad. Place one slice of cheddar cheese on top of the jam-covered bread. Generously spoon the prepared pumpkin salad onto the cheese. Finally, top with another slice of bread to create your delicious pumpkin sandwich! For an extra treat, you can lightly toast the outside of the sandwich in butter.
