There’s no singular definition for Filipino ensalada—many versions exist, like talong, mangga, lato, etc. But what’s common among all of these is their ability to showcase our rich agriculture. Ensaladas are proof that with great produce, you can create magic. This recipe for Filipino ensalada dumplings recipe is no exception. The filling makes use of five different and readily available vegetables. And in lieu of dressing, we throw in a sweet bagoong and calamansi dip!

This recipe was developed in partnership with Rural Rising Philippines, a social enterprise that aims to support the country’s food security, achieve environmental sustainability, and drive economic opportunity by harnessing the full potential of our local agriculture.
