Ampalaya Salad Recipe

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Ampalaya Salad or bitter gourd salad is a side dish composed of sliced bitter gourd, red onion, and tomato. This is best eaten with fried fish or other fried seafood dishes.

Ampalaya Salad

Preparing Ampalaya Salad is easy. All you have to do is to slice the gourd and onion as thin as possible. Salt is rubbed onto the gourd. This will let the gourd release its bitter flavor while absorbing the salinity of the salt. The mixture is then rinsed in water to get rid of the salt. At this point, all the vegetables along with the tomato are combined and soaked in a vinegar mixture. You’ll need to refrigerate it for a while before serving.

I enjoy having this as a side salad with fried salmon or fried tilapia. This also works well with bangus (milkfish).
