Dragon Fruit Waldorf Salad
An exotic Waldorf Salad using Dragon Fruit and ginger.
Ingredients
- 1 Large, ripe Dragon Fruit
- 1/3 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp Mayonnaise
- Juice of 1 lemon (preferably Meyer lemon)
- 2 tsp Honey
- 1-2 tsp Freshly grated ginger
- 1/2+ tsp Kosher salt
- 1 Granny Smith apple, cored and diced
- 1/2 cup Red seedless grapes, halved
- 1/3 cup Cashews, roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup Fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
- Bibb or Boston lettuce leaves
Instructions
- Cut off the ends off the Dragon Fruit and quarter the fruit slicing lengthwise. Then just peel back the pink skin. Slice into 1/2" triangles.
- Whisk together the yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, honey, ginger and salt in a large bowl. Fold in the apples, grapes, 3/4 of the dragon fruit pieces and 3/4 of both the cilantro and the cashews. You'll be leaving some extra for topping the salad. It can be refrigerated until ready to serve.
- For serving individual bowls, put a lettuce leaf in each of 4 small bowls, and top each with a scoop of salad. Garnish with the remaining dragon fruit, cilantro and cashews. If you're serving in one large salad bowl, line the bottom and sides with the Bibb lettuce leave and scoop the fruit salad onto the leaves. Top with remaining fruit, cilantro and cashews.
