Notes

  1. You can also use canned or frozen passion fruit pulp, make sure the frozen pulp is completely defrosted and taste your dressing as you may need to add some extra sweetener if it is too tart.
  2. The seeds in the dressing add crunch to this salad if you prefer a smoother consistency you can strain them. To strain passion fruits, slice them in half and use a small spoon to scoop up the flesh, then strain the pulp through a fine strainer and remove the seeds (if you warm the seeds in a small saucepan they will be easy to strain).
