Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

This is a very tasty salad. I used it for a main dish for my vegetarian friends. It work good in the warm weather no mayo in it.
