Dragonfruit, Mango, Jicama, & Corn Salad #SundayFunday

By

Today the Sunday Funday group is celebrating what host Mayuri of Mayuri's Jikoni called the king of fruits, the luscious, tropical, and delectable mango. Thanks to Stacy of Food Lust People Love, Sue of Palatable Pastime, Rebekah of Making Miracles, and Wendy of A Day in the Life on the Farm for coordinating this low-stress group. 

 Here's the #SundayFunday line-up of mango creations...


Mango Madness 

When I considered what to share, I thought back on my mango-topped Not So Tiny Tres Leches Cake, my mangonada, and using mangos in a fresh salsa to go on top of Fresh Veggie Spring Rolls. But I decided on a super simple preparation that lets that sweet fruit shine: Dragonfruit, Mango, Jicama, & Corn Salad.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup dragon fruit, diced (outside reserved for serving)
  • 1 cup tomato, diced
  • 1 cup mango, diced
  • 1 cup roasted corn kernels, removed from cob
  • 1 cup jicama, diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh herbs (I used a mixture of mint and cilantro)
  • 1 to 2 teaspoon jalapeno, diced
  • juice from 1 organic lemon
  • freshly ground salt
  • freshly ground pepper

Procedure

Place all of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Toss to coat everything with lemon juice. Let stand for 5 minutes. You can spoon the salad back into the dragon fruit skins or serve it in a small bowl.


That's it for the #SundayFunday mango event. We'll be back next week, sharing recipes with berries. It's  berry season! Stay tuned.

    Such a beautiful and colorful salad Camilla. Love all the ingredients in it except jicama.Don't get me wrong, it is just that I've not tasted it. However, if given the opportunity I would definitely love to try it.

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

By
If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce...
