We Filipinos are huge fans of desserts. On special occasions, there’s always a dessert that stands out from the rest of the menu. There’s the iconic Leche Flan, Buko Pandan, Biko, Sapin-Sapin, Pichi Pichi, and the all-time favorite, Buko Salad! 

I’m sure everyone knows about this simple yet tasty dessert, am I right? Well, it’s relatively easy to create and is always a blockbuster for everyone on any occasion! Buko Salad is also known as Young Coconut Salad. Usually, it’s made of sweetened milk, cream, sago, nata de coco, kaong, and of course, strips of young coconut or buko. It’s almost a guarantee that you’ll be able to eat Buko Salad at any Filipino celebration, especially Fiestas. They are usually packed in small plastic containers so that the visitors can easily grab one for themselves. 

There’s no official recipe for the Buko Salad because you can easily incorporate other ingredients into it such as mango, lychee, tapioca pearls, macapuno, and many more. That’s why the traditional Filipino dessert has lots of different variants like the Halo-Halo, Buko Melon, Buko Pandan, Buko Lychee, Ube Macapuno, and Lamaw, which is a unique and popular snack in the farming regions of the country. 

Are you craving some Buko Salad right now? Well, lucky for you because today, Filipino Recipes Guide will teach us how to make their very own Special Buko Salad Recipe at home!

Moreover, all of the ingredients we’ll need can also be found in nearby grocery stores and local markets. Alright, shall we begin?

To start, the ingredients we’ll need are apple, cheese, Nestle cream, condensed milk, fruit cocktail, nata de coco, kaong, and most importantly, Buko or young coconut.

First up, we’ll be making the sauce for the salad. To do that, simply pour the cream and condensed milk into a mixing bowl. Be sure to stir thoroughly until both of the ingredients are well-combined. Next, combine the fruit cocktail, coconut meat, nata de coco, and kaong into one mixture. Then, pour the sauce consisting of cream and condensed milk onto the ingredients and mix well. Keep on mixing until the sauce is fully incorporated into all of the ingredients. 

We’re almost done! To finish it up, add some sliced cheese and apple to the mixture and then keep on mixing to evenly distribute all of the delightful flavors. Now you can proceed with refrigerating the Buko Salad mixture for best results. And voila! Just like that, your Buko Salad Recipe is all done and ready for serving!
