Seroendeng is a popular Indonesian condiment made from peanuts, coconut, shallots, lemongrass and other delicious flavors. Its added to all types of foods from salads to rice and noodles. I had some in my refrigerator that’s been hanging out there for a few months, so I decided to incorporate it into this black bean salad. That, along with the pineapple, adds some tropical flavors into a typical black bean salad. This salad is a great combination of flavors – a little spicy, a little sweet, a little salty…but nothing overpowering.
Since Seroendeng isn’t a common supermarket item here, as it is in Indonesia or the Netherlands, first you have to make the Seroendeng. Hop over here to get my recipe for it.

Very colorful, flavorful and delicious salad. So many yummy ingredients in there.
Very healthy and colourful dish.
That seroendeng sounds flavorful and this colorful salad must have tasted great.
The salad looks very colorful and inviting.Where did you get the kolhrabi ?? I need some.
I get it at a local fruit and veggie market that has a diverse selection of produce – but you should try whole foods if your local market doesnt carry it
Interesting blend of veggies, Mir.
Such a catchy and interesting salad to enjoy without any fuss.
