EN: Salad
In the Philippines, this isn't just lettuce and tomatoes. This is Buko Salad, Macaroni Salad, or Fruit Salad—creamy, sweet, and swimming in condensed milk. It's the star of every Noche Buena and fiesta, the 'healthy' dessert you eat after three cups of rice and lechon.
From English 'salad'.
A direct loanword, but with a distinctly Filipino application focusing on sweet, creamy dessert salads rather than savory vegetable ones.
