KHMER PICKLED VEGETABLE SALAD

Khmer Pickled Vegetable Salad image

I grew up as a missionary kid in Cambodia, and most of my favorite foods have a Southeast Asian background. Locals love eating this pickled salad for breakfast, but I like it as a side for lunch or dinner, especially with chicken satay. -Hannah Heavener, Belton, Texas
