📖 The Story Behind This Dish

A Northeastern staple appetizer built around the crunch of julienned vegetables. The trick is blanching the potato only briefly so it keeps a near-raw crispness, all pulled together with a tangy dressing.

🌆 Where it's eaten: As a starter, or a palate-cleanser alongside richer dishes.
