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.
Yield: 4 side dish servings or 2 main course servings
