Indonesian Gado Gado Salad

Gado Gado is a popular Indonesian salad made with a variety of fresh vegetables and a delicious peanut sauce. The name "Gado Gado" is derived from the Indonesian phrase "gado-gado", which means "mix-mix". This traditional Indonesian dish is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables and nutrition. The vegetables are usually blanched or lightly boiled and then combined with the rich and flavorful peanut sauce. This salad is often served with boiled eggs or tempeh for added protein. It can also be served as a standalone dish or as a side with other Indonesian dishes.
