Café Marco’s Summer Salad
WHY
As the Miele Guide’s 5th Best Restaurant
in the Philippines, Café Marco’s take on the
traditional summer salad is fresh, hearty and
healthy. The crisp combination of greens,
cherry tomatoes and bean sprouts, mixed in
with refreshing grapes, mangoes, oranges
and green apples create a feast that is both
satisfying and light. It’s topped off with a soy
sesame dressing, provolone cheese, roasted
cashew nuts and sesame seeds.
