How to make Buko Pandan Salad

Summer brings in a whole lot of different things, from vacation trips, sweat, food, and heat. But what I personally enjoy the most during summer are the food best served during summer. Buko Pandan Salad is one of my personal favorite summer dessert snacks that I look forward to the most.

This dish, which originated from the province of Bohol is one I consider a good staple that you should have in your refrigerator just in case the summer heat gets too much. Having a bowl of this is a good way to cool off, plus it is damn tasty.

Personally, I always look into the health benefits I can get to the things I eat. And I’m teaching the recipe of making Buko Pandan Salad not only because it tastes delicious, but also because you can actually get the nutritional benefits from it. In Buko Pandan Salad, some of the ingredients you can find are coconut strips, condensed milk, vanilla and tapioca pearls. Coconut strips contain a lot of antioxidants and other healing properties. These can have therapeutic effects! Tapioca, in the right amount, is good for the tummy because it is easily digestible, it also contains high amounts of iron and it is cholesterol free.
