I had this salad at a
I had this salad at a Filipino friend\'s home, but she used another ingredient, I cannot for the life of me remember its name. She carefully recited the ingredients at the time so I dont want to offend her by asking again. Its some kind of pineapple nut?? It looked like a small grape but firmer with a bland taste, but gave the salad a really nice texture. Definitely a nut of some kind, but fleshy, almost like a raw almond. Anyone know it?

Hi Julie, the \"nuts\" are called Kaong (pronounced kuh-ong). You can find it at the Filipino/oriental stores, in glass jars or canned. This reminds me of my childhood. It\'s well worth the effort to use fresh, halved grapes, too. They have a better texture than those found in the fruit cocktail.
