Easy to Prepare Philippines Salad Recipe
As I recently came to the Philippines to live I’m now working on new ways to make healthy meals while I live here with the local produce and this Philippines Salad is something I could eat often. When I lived in Cebu city last year it was possible to get nearly any food you can get back in Australia although not always the same quality. Here on the island I live on now it is really difficult to get a lot of the foods I’m used to so I have to make use of a very limited but fresh and mostly organic range of veggies for salads.
I was recently in Cebu city and I ate at one of my favorite restaurants there called the Persian Palace in Ayala. I had a salad there that I really enjoyed and what I particularly liked about it was that the vegetables were cut quite fine so they all blended well.
Unfortunately I don’t have any fresh parsley for this Philippines Salad as that salad had and was a highlight but I will make do with what I have and spice it up a little to compensate for the lack of parsley.
You can buy all of these ingredients are the local store here where it does stock a few things aimed at the foreigners tastes. Most provinces with a tourist influx will have such a shop.
