Sweet Passion Fruit Dressing Salad
I love passion fruit. When I visited Costa Rica last year, I ate three fresh ones in a row during a random stop at a farm stand on the side of the road. You don't have to cook for a crowd to treat yourself to a fancy meal, especially when it comes together this quickly.
You'll Need:
For the Salad-
leafy greens (any kind you like)
1 pear, red or yellow, diced
reduced fat blue cheese crumbles
dried cranberries
Passion Fruit Salad Dressing-
½ cup of passion fruit puree
¼ cup of extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp honey
salt + pepper

Chopped walnuts or pecans would be awesome in this salad -- I didn’t have any on hand today.
Passion fruit puree is generally available in the frozen section of your supermarket - it’s 100% fruit, no added sugar. Just let it thaw in the fridge so it's ready for you.
If you can’t find passion fruit puree, or just don’t like passion fruit, a balsamic vinaigrette would be perfect on this, too.
And if you don’t like blue cheese, you can use feta instead.
