Gado Gado
Healthy, delicious, crunchy salad. Sticky, tangy, spicy sauce. Easy recipe!
Gado Gado is an Indonesian salad made with steamed and raw veggies, topped with a creamy peanut sauce.

I made this Gado Gado salad for the Keli Paan Cooking Contest, which is hosted on Facebook by Anitha from Keli Paan. It is a Cook-Click-Win contest where contestants cook the same recipe and photograph it. The best photo wins and the winner gets to come up with the next recipe. It’s a simple and fun way to interact with bloggers and non-bloggers alike! Since I won KPCC-5 (which was Sonal‘s recipe for fried rice and tofu salad) I got to set the recipe for KPCC-6.
This salad is suitable for diabetics, salad enthusiasts, and peanut butter maniacs!

Forgive my scrawly handwriting in the recipe above! I was trying something new with the format, so by the time I came to the end of the page I was scribbling a bit! Anyway, now I know I should stick to hand drawn illustrations, and use the computer to type the text from next time!

When I tell people I’m half Indonesian, if they know anything about Indonesian cuisine they’ll say gado gado 🙂 My secret is that I’ve never made it myself! (Shock horror, yes). I’ll peak at your adorable recipe here when I do try making it. xx
So tell me, any vegetarian Indo dishes that you do make? I’d love to try! 🙂
I had gado gado in Singapore and fell in love. Your method of describing the recipe is very unique. Love it. first time on your blog and off to explore around.
Thanks so much Lail! I’m really glad you liked the illustration method. Looking forward to interacting with you in the blog world! Happy 2014 to you! 🙂

I regularly go to a great Indonesian restaurant, and always have gado gado there. This recipe looks fantastic too, and I’m looking forward to making it. Great post!
Thanks and good luck with the recipe Georgina! Happy 2014! 🙂
What a cute illustration Priya! I can’t remember if I already told you this, but I love the layout of your blog 🙂 I’ve just bought a julienne slicer, so I’ll bookmark this page for when I’m back in Sydney – Niki x
Thanks Niki! And congratulations on the slicer! Here’s to salads! 🙂

I was at an Indonisian restaurant a few weeks back and was thinking that I really should try to make gado gado myself sometime – what a fabulous coincidence 🙂
Ha ha! Now you have no excuse! 🙂
This sounds like a perfectly light and refreshing dish to balance out all the rich holiday treats I’ve been indulging in lately! Plus, I simply adore your recipe illustration. So creative, cute, and informative all in one neat little package.
And it’s easy to make too. Do let me know if you try it out! Thanks, Hannah! 🙂
This sounds amazing! Love the illustration too — super cute!
Thanks, Mary!
Looks yum! Mmm
Thanks Divya!
Yum!! I love Gado Gado! So great to have a recipe for it now! 😉 Thanks for sharing Priya! As always – lovely illustrations!
You’re most welcome! I hope you get to try it out sometime! 🙂
thanks for an easy and tasty salad recipe. the photo looks beautiful.
I used my new-ish julienne cutter for the veggies. It’s the one piece of chef-y equipment I own!

The PB dressing sounds heavenly!
It is! And it’s a nice change from vinaigrette and olive oil dressings!
Thanks for posting this … Sharing and spreading the Joy 🙂
You’re most welcome, Sonal! Thanks for the share! BTW, did you check out the award? http://sugarfreesweetheart.com/2013/12/19/passing-on-awards/ 🙂
:). Yes Priya.. Thanks so much… You deserve the same award from me…. Your blog is always inspiring me as well 🙂
I have always loved the presentation of your awards.. Another awesome presentation :).
I am being lazy at it lately… I have to do an acceptance as well… Will try to do it before the year ends:)

No worries, Sonal! I was just wondering if you missed it because I posted the Gado Gado immediately after. And don’t worry about acceptance and all… this is just my way of saying thanks for all the support! 🙂
I know :). You are really a sweetheart!
No seriously I have to do one soon since there is a pending lot 😦
