Radish Salad with Dried Shrimp

Radish Salad with Dried Shrimp
Radish Salad with Dried Shrimp, Ensaladang Labanos with Dried Shrimp. One of the first post of OPC was the Ensaladang Labanos. That was sometime September 2007, it is more than 10 years now. At that time there was no Facebook or at least it was still not available publicly. Friendster was the most popular social networking site at that time. Those who are crazy about Friendster at that time I invite you to make your comments here.

Ensaladang Labanos with Dried Shrimp

Ok we have to get back to our topic, this site is a Pinoy Food Blog. Ensaladang Labanos with Dried Shrimp is a level up version of our Ensaladang Labanos. The recipe is not new is just that I have not made any post of the recipe. As a true blooded Ilocano I could attest that Ensaladang Labanos with Dried Shrimp was one of the frugal Ilocano dishes that I grew up. It is a salad but salad to most Pinoy is as good as viand. The Pinoy salad  also served as viand to most of us. 

Radish Pinoy Ensalada
