Buko Salad

Buko (young coconut) is readily available in the Philippines all year long. Filipino cooks use it to make not only desserts but even on savory dishes like Pancit Buko where instead of using noodles, buko strips are sauteed with meat, sometimes shrimp and vegetables like cabbage, carrots, peppers and seasoned with soy sauce and other condiments. There's also another chicken dish called Binakol, a chicken and coconut soup. But here at home, we use buko to make a sweet dessert salad, a family favorite that everyone always has a second serving of.
