Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the salad ingredients. Chop 1/4 bell pepper into bite-sized pieces. Peel 1 Red Dragon Fruit and cut it in half. Halve 7 seedless green grapes as well. Prepare a handful of your favorite nuts for a crunchy texture and some cheese to taste. (Tip: If Red Dragon Fruit isn’t available, you can substitute it with a sweet orange for a delicious alternative.)
Step 2
Gently wash the baby greens by shaking them in a bowl under running water. After washing, drain them thoroughly to ensure the salad stays crisp and fresh. (Tip: For added crunch, you can also include some crisp lettuce.)
Step 3
Now, let’s prepare the star of our dressing: the Red Dragon Fruit pulp. Take 1 Red Dragon Fruit, cut it in half, place the pulp in a bowl, and gently mash it with a masher or fork, leaving some texture. Since Red Dragon Fruit has a thin skin, it’s easy to mash. If you’re using a different fruit, you might need to finely chop it with a knife or pulse it briefly in a blender to retain some pulpiness. Be careful not to over-process it into a complete puree.
Step 4
Time to make the vibrant Red Dragon Fruit dressing! In a bowl with the mashed Red Dragon Fruit pulp, add 1 Tbsp vinegar, 1 Tbsp lemon juice, 1 Tbsp sugar, 1 Tbsp honey, 0.3 tsp salt, and 2 Tbsp olive oil. Whisk everything together vigorously with a whisk or fork until well combined. Since olive oil can separate, be sure to whisk the dressing again just before serving.
Step 5
Arrange the prepared baby greens evenly on a large plate or in a salad bowl. Scatter the halved Red Dragon Fruit, green grapes, and chopped bell pepper over the greens. Finally, sprinkle your chosen cheese and nuts on top for a beautiful garnish. Your salad base is now ready to impress!
Step 6
Everything is ready, let’s enjoy! Artfully arrange the salad on your serving dish. Just before eating, generously drizzle the well-mixed Red Dragon Fruit dressing over the salad according to your preference. Gently toss to combine, and savor the burst of refreshing sweetness that will dance on your palate. Your delicious Red Dragon Fruit salad is complete! ^^
