Gado-Gado Salad: Taste of Diversity, Celebrating Diversity
When I am in Jogja, I always take chance to eat one of may favorite Indonesian food, a salad called Gado-Gado.
According to Wikipedia, Gado-gado (Bahasa Indonesia) or also called Lotek (Sundanese and Javanese language) is an Indonesian vegetable salad served with a peanut sauce dressing. If you are vegetarian, it can be the delicious food for you.

If you are interested to make Gado-Gado salad, you get the recipe, here.
Because I love delicious and healthy Gado-gado, I write a Fable Short Story/ Flash Fiction of Gado-Gado to celebrate the diversity.
Gado-gado content group of unique ingredients and I use their uniqueness to represent diversity.
To unite does not mean to be the same with others. You must be your best self.
The uniqueness in unity can be beautiful and powerful-- Unity of Diversity.
