Pumpkin will lick your fingers for the winter

A very successful recipe with perfect proportions of vegetables. This wonderful pumpkin preparation for the winter is something between caviar and salad. I like to cook pumpkin in pieces in the form of a salad, and if you chop it with a blender, you will get fragrant caviar. In the finished form, it turns out to have a pleasant sweet and sour taste.
