Buko Pandan Salad

Buko Pandan Salad, pandan has become a craze for the Pilipinos. I remember when I was younger that the only use of this plant was added to cooking the rice to add the aroma of pandan.

Today pandan has become distinctively Pilipino. You have probably have them on your bakery products, drinks, desserts and other food products where vanilla was the only preferred flavor.

The most popular is the buko pandan salad and here is the recipe.
