Your green salad will take on a vibrant, tropical note with this tangy passionfruit dressing, the perfect combination to wow your guests at your next BBQ.

GREEN SALAD WITH PASSIO

One of my favourite uncles transformed his huge backyard into a veggie garden after he retired, he grows all sorts of things from tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, eggplants and even okra!

This year he included in his garden family a couple of passionfruit vines and had a bumper crop. After a visit, he gave us a huge bag of these tropical beauties which were just so fruity and sweet that this delicious quick dressing came to mind. You will love it as well.

A great green salad to serve with grilled, chicken, pork, or firm-fleshed meaty fish.  We served ours as part of a summer barbecue with pork chops and chicken breasts.

Try it with Mexican ribs, Jamaican jerk chicken, some lemony Mahi Mahi or vegan asparagus risotto.

HOW TO MAKE GREEN SALAD WITH PASSIONFRUIT DRESSING

1Cut your veg
Wash your romaine lettuce, discard the outer damaged leaves and trim the end. Either pat or spin dry in a salad spinner then shred with a sharp knife.
Wash your cucumbers, pat dry, trim off the ends and then peel leaving alternative green strips. Then cut into rounds.
Remove the core, end and seeds from your bullhorn pepper, rinse under cold water then slice thinly.
Wash, peel and remove the seed from your avocado, cut into chunks and squeeze some lemon or lime juice on top to prevent browning.

Can I make it ahead?

  • This is really such a simple green salad that comes together in less than ten minutes.
  • You can certainly make your dressing a few days ahead and keep it in a glass container in your fridge for 3-4 days.
  • The dressing is enough for two salads, you can try it with julienned jicama, carrot, bell pepper and cucumber or add to your next slaw with a dollop of mayo or it is absolutely sensational with sautéed asparagus or charred broccolini.

To meal prep this green salad for your lunches

  • This green salad can also be meal prepped for weekday lunches.
  • Just make it up in containers with the dressing in a separate container and add to your veggies just before serving.
  • For some added protein you could add some pulled pork, grilled chicken, seared lamb or quinoa for vegans.
