This recipe that we have here is very simple and quick to prepare. The combination of different ingredients make this dish more pleasurable.

Some might associate fruit salad with this dessert recipe. Both recipes have an array of fruit ingredients and the procedure is almost the same. The main difference of Buko Salad is probably the use of young coconut meat.

Aside from the ingredients that we used here, you can try adding more ingredients depending on your taste. I know people who adds apples and cheese in their buko salad.

How do you make your buko salad? What other ingredients do you use?

    Would anyone knows how to make Green Manggo Juice? I had it in one of the Buffet restaurant in Manila. It was awesome but I would like to try it here in Illinois since manggo is still in abundance. thank you.
