Japanese Pumpkin Salad with Sesame Seed and Pure Soy Sauce Dressing

This dish can be served as a gorgeous appetizer salad. You normally combine dressing with pumpkin when making a Japanese pumpkin salad, but this recipe pours the sauce over the salad when you serve, for ornamentation. Use "REGULAR SOY SAUCE" to add flavor and to bring out the sweetness of the pumpkin.
