Terengganu cuisine is really alien to me! It is really an eye opener after I've read up Lena's write up on Terengganu! :) I hereby present a simple and light salad which I never try before hahaha...this actually taste good! almost like Rojak without the shrimp paste taste :) spicy, sour and slightly pungent.

Salad Dressing (500ml)
