Gado Gado (Indonesian Vegetable Platter) from “Extending the Table”
Gado Gado is one of our favourite ways to eat the bounty of summer vegetables.  Basically, on a bed of rice, you top a variety of vegetables (really anything goes) and hard boiled eggs.  On top of the “salad” you pour a peanut-sauce dressing.  We cut up a variety of veggies and hard boiled eggs and put them in bowls on the table, then people can create their own dish.  Here’s what we had this week:

Shredded beets, steamed green beans, shredded zucchini, diced cucumbers, diced peppers, hard boiled eggs, shredded cabbage, Swiss chard finely sliced, spinach, broccoli
