'''''Kinilnat''''', or ''ensalada'', is an [[Ilocano people|Ilocano]] [[salad]]. Unlike some Western salads, {{lang|ilo|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 {{lang|ilo|[[bagoong monamon|bugguong munamun]]}} ([[anchovy paste]]) or {{lang|ilo|[[Fish sauce|patis]]}} ([[fish sauce]]), and sometimes souring agents like {{lang|ilo|[[kalamansi]]}},  {{lang|ilo|kamatis}} ([[tomatoes]]), or {{lang|ilo|suka}} ([[vinegar]]).<ref>{{cite web |title=Kinilnat {{!}} Traditional Salad From Ilocos {{!}} TasteAtlas |url=https://www.tasteatlas.com/kinilnat |website=www.tasteatlas.com |access-date=27 September 2023}}</ref> Additionally, it can be seasoned with freshly ground {{lang|ilo|laya}} ([[ginger]]) or {{lang|ilo|sili}} ([[Siling labuyo|chilis]]).
