Gado Gado #EattheWorld

I served up this delicious salad as a first course followed by Beef Rendang, another Indonesian Recipe that I am sharing with you today with my Sunday Funday Blogging group.

This salad could easily be a complete, light meal though with all of the delicious ingredients it incorporates.  Fresh vegetables, cooked potatoes, and hard-boiled eggs drizzled with a scrumptious peanut sauce that is then passed for folks to add more if they wish.
