Simple Buko Salad


If the coconut trees around the house are teeming with fruits, chances are there would always be some Buko Salad in the fridge!


Aside from being easy to make, it is also versatile to easily suit your taste and budget.



Buko Salad is one of the most popular fruits salads not to mention refreshingly delicious too! And I like it frozen too - like halo halo or ice cream.

The recipe is just easy that you can make it with eyes closed! Just follow your taste and you're good to go!

Now, let's make some Buko Salad!



Ingredients
  • 5 cups young coconut meat strips, adjust
  • 1 can regular size Fruit Cocktail ("Fiesta"), drained, adjust
  • 1 can Condensed Milk
  • 1 box all-Purpose Cream
Optional * adjust amount
  • Evaporated Milk
  • Nata de Coco
  • Kaong
  • Sweet corn kernels
  • Cheese, cubed
  • Peanuts, crushed



How to make Buko Salad
  1. In a large bowl, place cream then add condensed milk. Mix well for a uniform consistency and taste. If you opt for a lighter "dressing" you may add some evaporated milk or creamer. Just make adjustments according to your taste.
  2. When the dressing is done, add coconut strips and fruit cocktail (plus others on the Optional ingredients list). Mix well. You may adjust the dressing to meet your taste.
  3. Best served cold so, place in a freezee for at least an hour before serving.

I love a frozen buko salad, so it stays in the freezer long enough for it to form. It almost becomes like an ice cream loaded with fresh fruits. Sometimes I also mix a small portion of coconut water to the dressing for it lighter consistency.

That's it, simple and easy does it recipe for a delicious and refreshing buko salad.

Is there another type of coconut meat you can use? And what is kaong and nata de coco?

Love this desert! I would usually add apples and sweet corn for a richer fruit mix. As to its consistency, I prefer it to be a little thick so it is creamier to taste.
