Tropical Fruit Salad

This Tropical Fruit Salad is easier to achieve than you would think. I found pink pineapple and dragon fruit (pitaya) at my local Ralphs. I like to make something like this to mix up the fruit in my diet. If you haven’t tried dragon fruit, I highly recommend it. It is sweet and subtly earthy, with a texture reminiscent of kiwi. Its gentle taste provides a perfect counterpoint to the vibrant tanginess of the pink pineapple, which is sweeter and more aromatic than its yellow counterpart. The papaya, with its buttery texture, is like a soft embrace that melds the flavors together, offering a creaminess that balances out the zest and sweetness of the other fruits. This is an easy and delicious salad that will delight you, your family, and friends!

Edible Flower Spring Rolls

Using Edible Flowers in your party desserts, drinks, salads and even main dishes adds a unique element to your celebration. They add color, elegance, a bit of whimsy, and also have an interesting range of tastes.
Search for what is in season in your area – your local farmers’ market is a great source for finding out what is available and they’ll often have much more variety than the grocery store. Always ask vendors how their flowers are grown (you don’t want to eat flowers that have been sprayed with pesticides!). You can also order edible flowers (fresh or crystallized, which are great for using atop desserts) from several sites online (Gourmet Sweet Botanicals).
