Unsoy-Pear Salad
I’d been spending holidays in my hometown. I call it my “super extended vacation”. I stayed in Cavite from December 24 until January 9, went back to the city to teach a Saturday yoga class but as soon as I found out that January 17 is holiday, I packed my bag and was back home on January 14 for an extended Christmas vacation.
One thing I love about being in Indang, Cavite is I get to find vegetables that are never available in Quezon City. One such vegetable is unsoy. I asked my aunt for its English name and she said it’s coriander. Still it’s different from the coriander that I find in Quezon City. They smell the same but coriander has bigger leaves while unsoy has very thin leaves, more like pine trees, and they taste different too. I love unsoy better.
I’ve always loved eating unsoy salad. Normally, we eat it with onions and tomatoes. Since, I couldn’t find tomatoes, I had to make do with left over fruits (the 12 +1 round fruits) from New Year.
So, here’s the recipe for this Unsoy-Pear Salad:
