Salad á la Mama Selada Banjar

My first memory of eating Salad á la Mama was at a family reunion when I was about
12 years old. My parents’ house was filled with the most enticing aromas of every
herb and spice imaginable, but it was the crunching sounds of the thin potato chips that
garnish this salad that lingered in my mind for weeks after I ate it. I’ve since
introduced my family’s recipe to countless friends and colleagues who have all fallen
madly in love with its luscious, creamy dressing. Imagine cool, crisp lettuce with
sweet tomato wedges, cucumber chunks, and a sprinkling of crunchy potatoes, all

under a thick drizzling of the Sweet and Savory Dressing, coming together for one
velvety, explosive bite.
