Ingredients

2 passion fruits (or 1/4 cup passion fruit puree)

1/2 cup olive oil

1 tbsp lime juice

1 tbsp vinegar

2 tbsp honey

1/4 tsp salt

Preparation

1. Gather the ingredients.

2. Cut the passion fruits in half. Scrape the pulp and seeds into a small saucepan.

3. Heat fruit pulp over medium-low heat, stirring frequently. Heat the pulp almost to boiling, then remove it from the heat.

4. Strain the pulp through a fine sieve or colander.

5. Discard the seeds and let the juice cool.

6. Put the passion fruit juice, olive oil, lime juice, vinegar, honey, and salt in a blender or food processor and blend until the mixture is smooth.

7. Store the salad dressing in the refrigerator for up to one week. Stir or shake before using.

TIP: Although for this recipe you want the juice from the fruit, the seeds are edible. They are crunchy with a tart taste.
