Filipino Fruit Salad

Whenever I would go to my friend’s house for a party, one of the dishes Marie always served was this outstanding fruit salad. It is filled with fruits that I had never heard of, nor eaten. Now if you’ve ever been to the Philippines, you’ve probably sampled them, but here in the U.S., you might need to take a trip to a Filipino market to buy those fruits. Trust me, it’s so worth the trip. I’ve eaten many kinds of fruit salad in my 70 years, but this one is by far, the best. Thanks for sharing Marie!
