Buko Salad is the Filipino variation of the fruit salad, it is usually made out of mixed fruits, nata de coco, kaong (sugar palm), coconut, thickened cream and condensed milk. This dessert is a mainstay in every special occasion in the Philippines like birthdays, fiesta, weddings, Christmas and New Year’s dinner so this coming Christmas you should definitely make one if you haven’t tried something like this before. It’s one of the easiest desserts to make and there’s no cooking involved.
