Here are some ways you can begin using this exotic fruit in your kitchen! 👩‍🍳

Fresh and raw 🔪 enjoy the natural sweetness by cutting it into cubes or slices and enjoying it as a snack.

🥤Blend dragon fruit into smoothies, it pairs well with other tropical fruits like mango, pineapple, and banana!

🥣 Create a refreshing salsa by combining diced dragon fruit with ingredients like tomatoes, onions, cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Serve it with grilled proteins or as a topping for tacos. 🌮

🥗 Add dragon fruit to salads for a unique texture and flavor. It complements greens, nuts, and vinaigrettes well.

👩‍🍳 REMOVING FLESH: Run a spoon along the edge of each half where the flesh meets the peel — like you would with a kiwi or a mango. The flesh should come away from the peel quite easily.

This mild tasting fruit, somewhere between a pear and a kiwi flavor, can be used in so many ways - have fun!
