My cousins also asked for my flight details so they could book the same flight. My dad said he will book my room for me sharing with two family members at  Summit Hotel in Tacloban .

Pako Salad Recipe

Pako Salad Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 Kilo Fresh Pako leaves
  • 1 - Red Onion (slice)
  • 2 - Ripe Tomato (slice)
  • 2 - Salted Egg (slice)
Dressing Ingredients:
  • 1/2 Cup - White Vinegar
  • 1 Tsp - Black Pepper
There are two ways to make your pako salad some people prefer it raw others want it cooked all depends on how you want to eat it.

For us we prefer ours to be cooked before we eat our pako by doing this you just need to boil water add the pako leaves cook for a short time and strain the pako.

Preparing the Pako Salad:
  1. Transfer the pako on a serving plate add onion, tomato and salted egg 
  2. Mix the dressing ingredient together
  3. Option you can pour the dressing or set aside until you plan to eat your pako salad
I prefer to eat pako salad without any dressing due to the salted egg it is already salty adds flavor on its own.
