try grilling the amapalya lightly then thinly cut it. You may even like it better.

This relish keeps well in the fridge. When I’m feeling I’ve had too much fastfood during the week, I make this with horseradish, carrots and green mango. I use calamansi for souring and we’re good to go.

I usually make this salad and really it is good with anything fried to go with it. Try to add boiled egg or much better with “itlog na maalat” it will surely be a perfect blend.

squeezing the liquid out of it maybe a good idea for this item. I also have recepe with ampala salad. add some chopped onions, tomato, some chilli, salt, tuna sardines. Let it marinate in the fridge for at least 15-20 minutes and serve chilled. try it!

Gosh! Sarap ng ampalaya salad! My mom makes it once in awhile and perfect nga yan with prito stuff! Or even grilled stuff! I like the ampalaya thinly sliced so the pait is not too much!

I agree with Carol, the fish looks happy! Tee hee!

Marketman, perhaps next time you’re in Tagaytay you can try going to the SVD Retreat House. The ladies who run the kitchen sell a wonderful ampalaya salad. It’s similar to yours, but without tomatoes. Chillies are optional. I just thought I’d tell you because after they serve it during retreats, it becomes a bestseller even among non-ampalaya, non-vegetable eaters.

The pairing of ampalaya and fried tilapia was a good one. Ann, I think you fall into the addicted category…there are those that suggest there is something in ampalaya that makes yuo want to have it again and again… kind a like the addictive quality of chillis.

I tried a delicious mustasa salad the other day with bagoong and calamansi or suka and it was excellent with a fried catfish…will try to replicate it one of these days…

Hmmm, tried it with vinegar and tomatoes but never with garlic so I think I’ll try your version. Am emailing my friend to read this entry so she can try to make it your way. Thanks!
