Farah Karedok Salad

Farah Quinn’s Indonesian Karedok Salad

Farah Quinn is Indonesia’s foodie queen. And, as it turns out, she is also the sister-in-law of a close friend and an inspiring beautiful chef.  Through Farah I have been learning about the incredible light and good-for-you delights of Indonesian cuisine. With a few tweaks I’ve even made this raw and gluten-free salad kosher by eliminating the shrimp paste. 

There are so many healthy staples in Indonesian dishes, just like this Karedok Salad — basically a raw salad of beans, cabbage, sprouts and cucumber with peanut dressing (and if you’re not a peanut fan, substitute cashews or other favorite nuts).

According to Farah, this is her favorite Indonesian salad. “It’s very simple to make. Although this dish is traditionally served as a side, I love having it as a meal with a couple slices of grilled tofu or chicken.”

As the Indonesians say, Selemat makan!
