Definition

- A type of Vietnamese salad: "gỏi ghém" refers to a general category of Vietnamese dishes consisting of fresh, raw, or lightly pickled vegetables and herbs, often mixed with a small amount of protein (such as shredded chicken, pork, shrimp, or fish) and dressed with a sour, sweet, salty, and spicy sauce (nước mắm pha).

Advanced Usage
- "gỏi ghém" vs. "gỏi": While the reference states "gỏi ghém" is the same as "gỏi", "gỏi ghém" can sometimes carry a nuance of being a simpler, more everyday mix of fresh vegetables and herbs, perhaps with less emphasis on a central protein compared to some specific "gỏi" dishes like "gỏi gà" (chicken salad) or "gỏi đu đủ" (papaya salad). However, they are largely synonymous in general usage.
- Bữa cơm chỉ cần thêm một đĩa gỏi ghém là đủ. (The meal just needs an extra plate of gỏi ghém to be complete.)
