Directions

1. Using a sharp knife, first cut the stem and thick skin off the pumpkin.  Next, cut down the middle and scoop out the stringy flesh and seeds.  Cut the flesh into wedges to make it easier to slice.  Finally, cut the wedges into thin matchstick sized pieces.

3. Add all ingredients in a medium sized bowl and mix well.
