Most of us loves dessert salads — including me. I love Buko Pandan Salad, Fruit Salad, and Mango Bango. And our usual dessert salads always have buko or coconut. Para maiba naman, I made Buko Lychee Salad for our dessert this weekend. This salad actually reminds me of this Buko Lychee Jelly that my nanay used to make. She uses coconut that’s cut into squares and canned lychee and then turns it into a large tub of jelly. It’s really good and this version is like a deconstructed version of that dessert that she used to make.

I love Lychee and I have been eating fresh Lychee for dessert the past few days. The thing is Ykaie doesn’t. And that’s one of the reasons I made this also — it’s because I’m trying to make Ykaie appreciate the taste of Lychee. I’m thinking that maybe when the lychee is mixed with other ingredients, she’d learn to like it. Haaay, hindi pa rin… hihihi. I will try again with a different recipe.
