About this dish
Kinilnat, also known as kilnat or ensalada, is a Filipino vegetable salad originating from northern Luzon, Philippines. It is characterized by a savory, tangy, and salty flavor profile derived primarily from its dressing, which is typically made with fermented fish sauce (buggúong or bagoong isda), commonly produced from anchovies. The dish consists of a variety of blanched vegetables, including leafy greens, blossoms, legumes, and shoots. Common ingredients include sweet potato leaves, eggplant, okra, hummingbird tree flowers (Sesbania grandiflora), moringa flowers, fern shoots, and winged beans. The dressing traditionally consists of fermented fish sauce mixed with tomatoes and shallots or onions. In Ilocano cuisine, this combination is locally known as KBL, an acronym for kamatis (tomatoes), buggúong, and lasoná (shallots).
