Pasta Fruit Salad is the follow-up recipe to chicken sisig<\/a> in our 24 Days to Christmas recipe series. Since it's an old recipe from 2013 that gets a lot of love during the holiday season, I thought I'd update it with new photos and push it back into the spotlight in time for Noche Buena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you're looking for more holiday desserts, my\u00a0buko\u00a0pandan<\/a> also got a bit of TLC and was revamped with new photos and a video to guide you through the simple process. I also have a couple of brand-new sweet treats coming your way soon, so yay!<\/p>\n\n\n

Christmas is just around the corner, and one dish that is almost always present in every Filipino's holiday festivities is fruit salad. Traditionally, this Filipino-style dessert is made with fruit cocktail, sweet palm nuts, and sweetened cream, but a few years ago, a friend introduced me to adding macaroni to the mix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When she offered me a serving, my first thought was, \"what a way to ruin a good recipe,\" but I took one spoonful and quickly swallowed my words. <\/p>\n\n\n

The pasta cooked al dente does add a nice, chewy texture and marries well with the rest of the concoction. It's also an inexpensive way to extend servings, mainly when serving a large party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This macaroni fruit salad recipe is creamy, tasty, and easily customizable. I like to use fruit cocktail, nata de coco, kaong, and cheese cubes to pull it together but feel free to add other canned fruits such as peaches and mandarin oranges or fresh fruits such as halved seedless grapes, diced apples, and sliced strawberries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
