Fresh buko (coconut) and fruit salad
In the Philippines, when one says “fruit salad”, one is referring to a cold sweet dessert made with grated coconut, drained canned fruits, cream and sweetened condensed milk. It’s a dish associated with Christmas. I have my own version of fruit salad in the archives–a version without coconut but with nata de coco and macapuno balls added to the drained canned fruits.
This fresh buko (coconut) and fruit salad uses the same mixture of cream and sweetened condensed milk for the dressing. But since this is a “toast to the summer” kind of dish, I only used fresh fruits–a variation of my previous tropical fresh fruit salad. In a nutshell, this is a dessert made with strips of tender buko, chunks of sweet ripe mangoes and melon, and slices of ripe bananas served chilled with a dressing made from a mixture of all-purpose cream and sweetened condensed milk.

I think a more fun way to slice mangos is to cut the ‘cheeks’ as close to the seed as possible, then using a sharp knife, cut the flesh in each cheek into cubes before scooping them out with a spoon.
why is that more “fun”?
Because it’s easier and faster. and when you push the cheeks from under so that the cubes spread out it’s like watching a flower blooming. Well, almost.
Hi Ma’am! I love fruit salad. I was used to the fruit salad that uses the canned fruit cocktail until I recently discovered “Buko ni Fruta” in SM Clark food court. You can have Buko with fresh fruits. You can even have Buko pandan. ‘Yung buko fresh kasi babalatan s’ya once you order. ‘Di ko lang po alam kung ibang branch ang “Buko ni Fruta”. Share lang po.
More power po and thank you sa lahat ng natutunan ko sa inyo through this blog.
