Method
- Wash the mabolo thoroughly, then peel it completely because the fuzzy skin can irritate the mouth. Remove the calyx and any damaged flesh.
- Cut the fruit around its seeds into bite-size wedges and chill for 10 minutes while the dressing is mixed.
- Whisk vinegar, calamansi, cooked bagoong, and brown sugar until the sugar dissolves.
- Add tomato, onion, chile, and spring onion to a serving bowl and toss with half of the dressing.
- Fold in the mabolo gently so its soft flesh does not turn to mash.
- Taste a complete bite and add only enough remaining dressing to balance the fruit’s sweetness and aroma.
- Serve at once as a side for grilled fish or pork; do not hold the dressed salad for more than two hours.
