• Preparation

  1. Locate the "flat spot" of the dragonfruit, rotate it 90 degrees, and carefully slice it in half. Scoop out the flesh of the fruit and chop it into small cubes.
  2. In a non-reactive bowl, combine the olive oil, lime zest, lime juice, lavender honey, pomegranate vinegar, kosher salt, and fresh cracked pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until emulsified.
  3. Cube the ripe avocado and gently toss it into the dressing to coat. Add the boiled, chilled, and large diced shrimp, along with the cubed dragonfruit. Mix everything together gently.
  4. Spoon the salad mixture into the hollowed-out dragonfruit "bowls". For an elegant touch, you can garnish with an extra shrimp or a mint leaf placed on the spiky part of the fruit.
