Do not expect a light salad, though. The dilis are fried and salty, and you eat this with rice like any other ulam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Frying the dilis is the only part that needs your full attention. Everything else is just mixing. Give them a few minutes on a plate after frying and they crisp up as they cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-what-is-ensaladang-dilis\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Ensaladang Dilis?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ensaladang Dilis is a simple Filipino side dish, an ensalada like ensaladang talong and ensaladang mangga. Ensalada came from the Spanish word for salad, and dilis is the Tagalog word for anchovies. The fish are salted and sun-dried, so a well-dried batch keeps for months without refrigeration. The same dried fish are used in other everyday dishes, like <a href=\"https:\/\/panlasangpinoy.com\/ginisang-monggo-with-dilis\/\">ginisang monggo with dilis<\/a>, or simply fried as a breakfast side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1500\" alt=\"Dilis salad\" class=\"wp-image-97099 perfmatters-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/panlasangpinoy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Dilis-salad.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/panlasangpinoy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Dilis-salad.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/panlasangpinoy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Dilis-salad-333x500.jpg 333w, https:\/\/panlasangpinoy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Dilis-salad-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/panlasangpinoy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Dilis-salad-800x1200.jpg 800w, https:\/\/panlasangpinoy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Dilis-salad-40x60.jpg 40w, https:\/\/panlasangpinoy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Dilis-salad-750x1125.jpg 750w, https:\/\/panlasangpinoy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Dilis-salad-730x1095.jpg 730w, https:\/\/panlasangpinoy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Dilis-salad-540x810.jpg 540w, https:\/\/panlasangpinoy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Dilis-salad-141x212.jpg 141w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 1200px) 730px, (min-width: 1080px) 650px, (min-width: 1024px) 630px, (min-width: 768px) calc(100vw - 40px), calc(100vw - 20px)\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ensaladang mangga usually has bagoong, ensaladang talong is often topped with shrimp paste, and in ensaladang dilis both the salt and the crunch come from the fried fish. Vinegar can replace the calamansi in the dressing, or you can use both, and some households add cucumber or labanos. This is everyday food, not fiesta food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-ingredients\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Dried anchovies (dilis)<\/strong> \u2013 About 3 ounces. Look for whole, pale silvery fish.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ripe tomatoes<\/strong> \u2013 Seeded and diced. Seeding matters here, because the jelly and seeds water down the dressing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Purple onion<\/strong> \u2013 Milder and a little sweeter raw than yellow onion, which is why I prefer it for salads.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Calamansi<\/strong> \u2013 Roll each one on the counter before slicing to get more juice out. No calamansi? See substitutions below.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fish sauce<\/strong> \u2013 Start with a small amount and adjust after tasting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ground black pepper<\/strong> \u2013 Just a small amount for the dressing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sugar<\/strong> \u2013 Optional. Half a teaspoon is enough if the calamansi is too sour for you. The dressing should not taste sweet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cooking oil<\/strong> \u2013 A couple of teaspoons for frying the dilis.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When buying dried dilis, pick a bag where the fish look pale silver with clean white bellies. A deep yellow color or an oily, rancid smell means the batch is old, and old dilis taste harsh no matter how carefully you fry them. Small to medium fish, around one to two inches long, work best for this salad because you can eat them whole, heads and all. Filipino groceries and most Asian markets carry dried dilis, and the dried anchovies in the Korean and Japanese aisles can be used the same way. Store the open bag in the freezer if you will not finish it soon. The dried dilis stay fresher there than in the pantry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"featured-content block-advice\" id=\"acf-helper-block_a193951ae3a4c72d6b975845be04e6a4\">\n\n\t<div class=\"wrap\">\n\n\t\t<div class=\"section-content\">\n\n\t\n\t<h2 class=\"section-title\">\n\n\n\t\n\t\tVanjo\u2019s Advice\n\t\n\n\t<\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"section-description\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Taste a fried dilis before you season the dressing.<\/strong> Saltiness varies a lot from brand to brand.

The dilis will be soft and the tomatoes will have released some liquid, so give it a toss and a fresh squeeze of calamansi before eating. If you already know there will be leftovers, keep the parts separate from the start: fried dilis in an airtight container somewhere cool and dry for 2 to 3 days, and the cut vegetables in the fridge for a day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Freezer:<\/strong> Do not bother freezing this salad. Tomatoes and onion turn to mush when thawed, and even the fried dilis come out chewy. The raw dried fish are the only part of this dish that belongs in the freezer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reheating:<\/strong> Soft dilis are fixable. Spread them in a dry pan over low heat for a minute or two and the crunch comes back. No need for extra oil, since they keep enough from the first fry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1500\" alt=\"Ensaladang Dilis\" class=\"wp-image-97100 perfmatters-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/panlasangpinoy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Ensaladang-Dilis.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/panlasangpinoy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Ensaladang-Dilis.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/panlasangpinoy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Ensaladang-Dilis-333x500.jpg 333w, https:\/\/panlasangpinoy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Ensaladang-Dilis-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/panlasangpinoy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Ensaladang-Dilis-800x1200.jpg 800w, https:\/\/panlasangpinoy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Ensaladang-Dilis-40x60.jpg 40w, https:\/\/panlasangpinoy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Ensaladang-Dilis-750x1125.jpg 750w, https:\/\/panlasangpinoy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Ensaladang-Dilis-730x1095.jpg 730w, https:\/\/panlasangpinoy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Ensaladang-Dilis-540x810.jpg 540w, https:\/\/panlasangpinoy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Ensaladang-Dilis-141x212.jpg 141w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 1200px) 730px, (min-width: 1080px) 650px, (min-width: 1024px) 630px, (min-width: 768px) calc(100vw - 40px), calc(100vw - 20px)\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-more-filipino-salad-and-dilis-recipes\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Filipino Salad and Dilis Recipes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Calamansi<\/strong> \u2013 Cane or coconut vinegar is the usual replacement.

Most bagged dilis go straight into the pan. If your batch feels gritty or tastes very salty, give it a quick rinse, then pat the fish completely dry with paper towels before frying. Any water left on them will splatter hard when it meets the hot oil.<\/p> <\/details> <details class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783988475845\"><summary><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">Should I remove the heads from the dilis?<\/h3><\/summary> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">For small to medium dilis, no. I fry them whole and eat them whole. If you have larger dried anchovies, pinching off the heads and the dark innards helps, since those parts carry most of the bitterness in bigger fish.<\/p> <\/details> <details class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783988489676\"><summary><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I use fresh anchovies instead of dried?<\/h3><\/summary> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Not for this recipe. Fresh dilis is a different ingredient that usually ends up as kinilaw or fried whole, and it would not give you the salt or the crunch that hold this salad together. The dried version is the whole point here.<\/p> <\/details> <details class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783988500004\"><summary><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I add salted egg to this salad?<\/h3><\/summary> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes. Sliced itlog na maalat goes well with the tomatoes and onion here. Add the slices on top after tossing so they stay whole.
