Gado Gado board

Love love love this salad from my 6 years living in Indonesia. Use whatever vegetables take your fancy, add tofu and Chinese cabbage for authenticity, or change it up to use fresh seasonal ingredients from where you live. Create a platter so that people can take and create their favourite plate of salad. Naturally the best bit is the sour, sweet peanut sauce - this is the bit I get cravings for!
