Kinilnat, or ensalada, is an Ilocano salad. Unlike some Western salads, kinilnat accompanies the main course as a side dish.
The leaves, shoots, blossoms, immature fruits or other parts of the vegetables are blanched, drained and dressed with bugguong munamun ( anchovy paste) or patis ( fish sauce), and sometimes souring agents like kalamansi, kamatis ( tomatoes), or suka ( vinegar). [1] Additionally, it can be seasoned with freshly ground laya ( ginger) or sili ( chilis). Common vegetables include: [2] [3] [4]
- kamotig, sweet potato leaves and shoots
- parya, bittermelon unripe fruits and leaves
- otong, string bean shoots and young pods
- karabasa, calabaza shoots and blossoms
- sayote, chayote shoots
- kalunay, amaranth leaves
- marunggay, moringa leaves and blossoms
- repolyo, cabbage leaves
- katuday, West-Indian pea blossoms
