Indonesian Salad Recipe - Serves 6 
== Ingredients ==
=== Salad ===
* 3 hard boiled eggs, peeled and sliced
* ¾ cup cabbage, shredded
* ¾ cup green beans, sliced
* ¾ cup carrots, sliced
* ¾ cup cauliflower, chopped
* ½ cup mung bean sprouts
* ⅓ cup snow peas
* ½ cucumber, sliced
* 2 red potatoes, cut into wedges
=== Peanut dressing ===
* ¾ to 1 cup coconut milk (depending on whether you want a thicker or thinner sauce)
* ½ cup chunky peanut butter
* 1 teaspoon red curry paste or chile paste (or Tabasco sauce)
* 1 tablespoon brown sugar
* 1 tablespoon lime juice
* 2 teaspoons fish sauce (or substitute 1 tablespoon soy sauce)
== Directions ==
# Wash all the vegetables.
# Ideally, with the exception of the eggs and cucumber, all of the salad ingredients should be blanched or boiled in a large pot of boiling water. However, if you are pressed for time you can serve them raw with the exception of the potato, which has to be boiled.
# To blanch: plunge the vegetable briefly in the boiling water, then plunge into cold water. This leaves the vegetables nicely crisp and neither too firm or limp. Drain all the vegetables.
# Arrange the vegetables on a serving platter, starting on the outside of the platter and work inwards, arranging the vegetables in a colorful pattern.
# Top with the chopped eggs.
=== Peanut dressing ===
# In a small saucepan, bring the coconut milk to a boil.
# Stir in the remaining ingredients and simmer for 5 minutes, until the peanut butter has melted and the mixture is thickened.
