How to Make Vegetable Salad with Mayonnaise (Traditional & Healthy Version)
Vegetable Salad with Mayonnaise, locally known as 'Salad Sayur dengan Mayonis', is a favourite lunch option across Malaysia, blending fresh, crunchy vegetables with a creamy homemade mayonnaise dressing. This dish celebrates the vibrant multicultural cuisine of Malaysia, often appearing in both Malay and Chinese homes, especially as a refreshing accompaniment during hot afternoons. Its roots can be traced to the adaptation of Western-style salads, but Malaysians have infused their own flavours by using local produce such as timun (cucumber), kobis (cabbage), and daun ketumbar (coriander leaves). The taste is a harmonious balance of crisp textures and creamy richness, making it both satisfying and light. With the use of local ingredients like pandan for aroma and a touch of limau nipis (lime) for zest, this salad embodies Malaysia’s creative approach to healthy eating. It is perfect for those seeking a nutritious, vegetarian lunch that’s easy to prepare and full of local flavour. Whether served at a family gathering or packed for work, it stands out as a health-conscious, delicious Malaysian recipe.
