You would think that the hot peppers would be too much just sprinkled on the top. But the combination of vegetables underneath, especially the ginger, makes this not nearly as hot as expected. It is still definitely a hot pepper salad.

This is great as a side to curries. It’s also a nice summer picnic dish.

Drop in again soon for another vintage recipe! I’ll have a different recipe every Sunday afternoon throughout the year. Keep an eye on this page or subscribe to the RSS feed for further details. You can also browse past featured Club recipes as well as some of the vintage promotional cookbooks I’ve used as sources. And I collect many of these recipes in A Traveling Man’s Cookery Book.
