A salad bursting with flavor. Even salad haters will love it. Recipe from Lombok, Indonesia.

Wash the vegetables. Peel the cucumber in a zebra pattern. Halve it lengthwise, remove any seeds, and cut each half into approximately 1 cm wide strips. Chop the strips crosswise into approximately 1.5 cm wide pieces. Cut off the top of the avocado, then halve it lengthwise around the pit. Turn one half 90 degrees, expose the pit, and remove it. Halve the halves lengthwise and chop like the cucumber. Place the vegetables in a bowl and mix. Peel the papaya, halve it lengthwise, remove the seeds, and chop like the avocado. Slice the green part of the spring onion crosswise into thin rings. Slice the small green chili crosswise into thin slices, leaving the seeds and discarding the stem. Press the garlic cloves into a small bowl and mix in all the dressing ingredients for seasoning. Drizzle the mixture over the vegetables and mix gently. Let it sit for 10 minutes, then mix again briefly. Divide the finished salad among serving plates, garnish, serve at room temperature with olive oil in a small jug, and enjoy. Note: This salad is served without oil on Lombok, but with two lime halves.
