MACARONI FRUIT SALAD

To be honest, I was really surprised that this type of dish exist. With all the macaroni salad and fruit salad I made, who would have thought that you can still make it yummier?

I first had this dish during the graduation celebration of one of my friends. I don’t feel like eating rice during that time, so I locked my eyes with the macaroni salad. I was about to get some because the dish really looked like macaroni salad! But when I chewed a bit, there was a papaya!! At first, I though that there was just a mistake on scooping, use of serving spoon, etc. ) But no!! The fruits were really mixed up with the macaroni salad.

I tasted them and got surprised on its mouthfeel. There is a combination of sweetness, sourness, freshness and creaminess all in one bite! Super yum!

I told my mom about this dish and she bursted into laughters. But I challenged her to make the dish with me first before continuing her comments. Since it is super easy, my mom and I made it immediately and her feelings and reactions towards this dish changed to better.

HOW TO COOK MACARONI FRUIT SALAD

If you have tried making macaroni salad and fruit salad separately in the past, this recipe will be super easy for you.

First, let us prepare the macaroni pasta. Cook it according to package instructions. We Pinoys were used to adding oil and salt to the pasta. We believe, and also based on experience, that the cooked pasta do not stick to each other when cooked because of the oil. Once cooked, let it cool down completely before proceeding with the other steps. (Remember that we are making a dessert! Brr Brr!)

The next steps would include combining the macaroni pasta and the fruit salad ingredients. Aside from the fruit cocktail, you can add any fruit you like! Simply combine them all in a large bowl and toss them up gently until well mixed. And you’re done!

Remember to chill them first before serving. Yum!
