Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that brings a fusion of flavors and textures to the table. This dish was inspired by my recent trip to a tropical island, where I discovered a unique combination of ingredients that I couldn’t wait to recreate in my own kitchen.

Ingredients

knife
cutting board
skillet
mixing bowl
whisk

For this recipe, you will need:
– 200g fresh dragon fruit, cubed
– 100g cooked quinoa
– 50g toasted coconut flakes
– 1 ripe avocado, diced
– 1 small red chili, finely chopped
– Juice of 1 lime

Preparation

Start by cubing the fresh dragon fruit and dicing the ripe avocado. In a skillet over medium heat, toast the coconut flakes until golden brown and aromatic. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, dragon fruit, avocado, toasted coconut flakes, and chopped red chili.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the lime juice, salt, and pepper. Pour the dressing over the quinoa mixture and toss well to combine. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves before serving.
