  • About

This vegetarian salad is distinctive because of the banana blossoms, the flower of the banana plant. Banana blossoms, which have a high content of tannic acid, are popular in soups and salads because of their sour and tangy taste. Here they complement the crunch of the cabbage and the fish sauce. You can also add more ingredients such as tofu or shredded chicken.
