However, if we want to reduce the bitter taste of raw ampalaya, choose the ampalaya fruit one with big furrows. Another way is to make your ampalaya salad with mix of ginger and calamansi.
The procedure is simple:
1. Slice thinly ampalaya and regular slice tomatoes, onions, scallions or leeks. Pound a piece of ginger on a mortar and mix.
