Fruit salad is a mixture of different kinds of fruit such as chunks of pineapple and apple. It is usually eaten as a dessert and is commonly prepared for special occasions in the Philippines such as fiestas and New Year’s Eve. It is closely related to Filipino Buko salad. Using fruit cocktail, that is commonly available in local markets, and all purpose cream, makes this dish famous in our country because of its sweet and creamy taste which actually resembles ice cream. The beauty of this dish is that any type of local, fresh vegetable can be used in addition to those suggested in the recipe.
