Ensaladang Mangga (Green Mango Salad)

Ensaldang Mangga or Green Mango Salad makes a good side dish for fried or grilled food. It is best eaten with white rice. I personally consider this as an appetite booster because I seem to eat more than the usual when it is around. There are two dishes that I can immediately think about when I see green mango salad: fried fish and grilled pork. I have this most of the time with fried pompano and galunggong. Fried fish might be a simple dish, but it becomes extra ordinary when eaten with ensaladang mangga. I am a sucker for grilled pork chops and pork belly. I commonly pair it with ensaladang talong or green mango salad — sometimes with a piece of salted egg (itlog na maalat) on the side.

Caesar Salad

Caesar Salad is a famous salad believed to be invented by a restaurateur named Cesar Cardini. This salad uses romaine lettuce tossed topped with garlic croutons, parmesan cheese, and a mixture of olive oil, raw egg yolks, and garlic. The use of raw eggs has become an issue because of possible salmonella contamination. Coddling the eggs is a good way to ensure that the eggs are safe. This is done by pouring hot water on the egg yolks and letting it sit for a minute. Additional water (room temperature) is added afterwards to neutralize the heat before draining
