Kapsalon is a Dutch food item consisting of fries, topped with döner or shawarma meat, grilled with a layer of Gouda cheese until melted and then subsequently covered with a layer of dressed salad greens. The dish is often served with garlic sauce and sambal, an Indonesia-derived hot sauce. Kapsalon is high in calories, with each serving containing approximately 1800 kcal.[1] The term kapsalon means "hairdressing salon" in Dutch, alluding to one of the inventors of the dish.[2]
The dish was conceived in 2003 by Nathaniël Gomes, a Cape Verdian hairdresser in Rotterdam who in collaboration with the neighboring shawarma store "El Aviva" combined all his favorite ingredients into one dish.[3] The dish has since spread around the Netherlands into Belgium.[4]
