How to make Creamy Buko Salad
Creamy Buko Salad Recipe is a deliciously refreshing traditional Filipino dessert prepared with young coconut (buko), fruits, all-purpose cream, condensed milk, and nata de coco and kaong or palm fruit.
One of the popular desserts served in the Philippines is the Buko Salad Recipe or Young Coconut Salad. The coconut is considered one of the most important fruits in the tropics. Nutritionally, it is high in potassium, and the water is rich in minerals. The meat from young coconuts is relatively softer and will glide in your mouth, while older coconuts tend to be more challenging.
What makes the buko the star of this recipe is its distinct flavor and softness and a little crunchiness that it gives even when combined with the other ingredients. Variations include the addition of other ingredients like apples, cheese, peanuts, nata de coco, etc. You need to chill Buko Salad for a couple of hours before serving it to blend all the ingredients and bring out the flavor.
