Chilled Karedok Salad

A chilled salad for a hot day - always serve direct from the fridge, never room temperature. I use cashew nuts for the paste but peanuts work equally well. Thinly sliced red or white cabbage adds to the crunch.   

Serves 4-6

Ingredients:

​

  • A small bag of mixed baby salad leaves

  • 1 medium carrot, peeled and grated or cut into small ribbons using a peeler

  • 2 fresh corn cobs, sliced from the cob

  • 100gr of sugar snaps

  • 2 small endives, cut the bottom and remove the leaves individually

  • 1 yellow paprika

  • 100gr cherry tomatoes, cut into halves

  • Bunch of basil

​​

For the sauce:
 

  • 150gr cashews or peanut, roasted

  • 4 birdseye chilies (add more or reduce according to your taste)

  • 20gr kencur, sand ginger or you can substitute 30gr normal ginger

  • 200ml water

  • 50ml lime juice

  • 1-2 tablespoon coconut sugar or honey (optional)

  • Salt to season
