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.

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...
