HEALTHY DRAGON FRUIT WALDORF SALAD



Healthy Dragon Fruit Waldorf Salad image

A dragon fruit (also called pitaya) may look like a fire-breathing artichoke, but it's a cactus-family member that's a powerhouse of vitamin C and B vitamins. The white or fuchsia flesh has a fair amount of fiber, and the curious little black seeds are full of healthy fats. Dragon fruit tastes like a cross between a pear and a kiwi and gives traditional Waldorf salad a tropical update. Look for it in specialty South American or Asian stores.
