"Pig ear salad", made with lotus and shrimp puffs, phồng tôm.

Gỏi (Nộm in Northern Vietnam) is the indigenous salad of Vietnamese cuisine.[1] It is to be distinguished from sa lát (from the French for salad), and sa lát Nga ("Russian salad") found in Western style restaurants.

This salad is a combination of a variety of fresh vegetables, grated turnip, kohlrabi, cabbage, or papaya, and slices of cucumber often with meat - either grated, boiled, lean pork, beef, shrimp or small fry. Other ingredients and condiments include gia vị spice, rau thơm herbs, and đậu phộng peanut. The salad is mixed, soaked in vinegar, sugar, tỏi garlic, ớt pepper, and seasoned with salt.

One of the best known is Gỏi gà, chicken salad.[2][3][4][5] Other varieties include Bánh đúc nộm salad made with bánh đúc, Gỏi bò khô dried beef salad with kinh giới, the popular Gỏi đu đủ papaya salad and Gỏi tôm prawn salad[6] and local specialities such as rice-paddy eel salad, Gỏi nhệch.
