Dutch-Indo Shrimp Salad Husaren Sla

The Dutch occupation of Indonesia introduced a number of unfamiliar flavors to the
indigenous people that were quickly adopted into the local cuisine. This salad features
some of these new flavors, with its rich, creamy dressing of butter, milk, and eggs.
This vibrant salad has a beautiful combination of succulent shrimp, fresh vegetables,
and juicy, tart pineapple chunks. The contrasting elements create luscious layers of
sweet and savory flavors. With fresh ingredients, this salad can be presented in a
dramatic tower of eye-popping colors, inviting people to feast with their eyes first.

Indonesian salads typically incorporate salty and spicy elements but this Dutch-
influenced extravaganza is more mellow in its flavoring.
