This versatile Indonesian salad is a combination of cooked and raw vegetables with a spiced peanut dressing, like a grown-up satay sauce. Our recipe is vegan, but it’s also popular to serve with boiled eggs and/or grilled chicken. You can’t go wrong here using your choice of salad and veg – and this is great for self serving or rolling into rice paper rolls at the table. The dressing will keep for up to 3 weeks in the fridge and can be used as a dipping sauce or marinade for roast chicken thighs.
