Without a doubt, a dream salad. Original title: Kalau saya mimpi tentang selada. Recipe from Lombok, Indonesia.

Wash all vegetables and fruit that are not being peeled. Cut off both ends of the cucumber and slice into approximately 4 mm thick slices. Peel and coarsely grate the carrots. Wash the tomatoes, remove the stems, quarter them lengthwise, remove the green core, and halve them crosswise. Halve the avocado lengthwise around the pit on a cutting board. Remove the pit and the core. Lightly score the outer skin and peel it off. Remove any imperfections, etc. Cut the flesh into approximately 1 cm pieces. Sort the soybean sprouts and put the good ones in a pot. Simmer in plenty of salted water for 4 minutes, then refresh in cold water and set aside in a sieve. Halve the onion lengthwise, cut off both ends of one half, peel, and roughly chop. Cut the small, green chilies crosswise into thin slices, leaving the seeds and discarding the stems. Combine all prepared ingredients in a sufficiently large bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and mix. This mixture can wait up to 8 hours in the refrigerator to perfection. Combine the ingredients for the sauce, season with salt, and add to the salad shortly before serving. Divide the salad among serving plates, garnish, and serve with a not-too-small bowl of olive oil. Note: The original title is loosely translated: If I’m going to dream of salad… (then of something like this). If you prefer a less spicy dream, you should hold back a bit on the chilies. The small chili is called “cabe rawit” in Indonesian, and the word rawit means “small but mighty” or “small but spicy.” Besides referring to small chilies, it’s also used for some women, and rawit is nothing else than that! The dry-wet dressing is a secret recipe. It guarantees the full development of flavor. So please don’t experiment here. Thank you!
