Just a couple quick blogs before the weekend…I couldn’t resist. Bought a Dragonfruit yesterday because they are so unique looking, and Andrew and I thought we would try it today. Dragonfruit, if you haven’t tried it, tastes almost like a cross between a kiwifruit and a pear. Andrew ate his plain cut up, he was interested in the unique color. As for me, I made a quick salad for lunch. Also have been using a new green lately that I found at the grocery called Mache. It has a very mild taste, I love it. If you don’t have it though, spinach would be nice with this, or a variety of mixed greens.
I am not including a recipe for the salad as really just make as much as you need. I made a very quick vinigrette dressing using cider vinegar, but if you have a fruity vinegar, that would be really nice here. The dressing makes enough for prob. 6-8 people (store the leftovers for the week)
For the salad:
– Mache (Or Spinach)
– Dragon Fruit (Cut up, you can’t eat the peel, just the inside white part)
– Dried Cranberries
– Peppered Goat Cheese (Soft) – any goat cheese would work though
– Toasted Pecans, chopped
The quick dressing I made:
In a mason jar, combine:
– 1/2 tbsp honey
– 1/2 tbsp dijon mustard
– 1/4 cup cider vinegar
– 1/2 cup oil (I used extra virgin olive oil, grapeseed would be nice too)
– salt and pepper to taste
Shake to combine.
