About

A traditional Indonesian salad that’s perfectly paired with the philosophy of this cookbook, Gado Gado’s collection of elements awakens the palate with color, texture, and a range of disparate yet complimentary tastes. While the ingredients can vary, they’re typically bound together by sweet-sour-salty-crunchy components and a savory peanut dressing that has just enough saccharinity to make it sing.
