Passion Fruit Dressing
September 5, 2012 § 4 Comments
Don’t hate me… but for the past week I’ve been in Hawaii! For me, the three best things about Hawaii are the beach, the ocean, and the tropical fruits, not necessarily in that order. This week, I really went all out in the fruit department. I ate pineapple, mango, papaya, passion fruit, and – a first for me – dragon fruit. To be honest, I didn’t hate the dragon fruit, but I didn’t love it either. It is certainly visually stunning, but it just didn’t blow me away. I decided to spice it up with this passion fruit dressing, and the dressing ended up being the main attraction for me.
Whatever your feelings about dragon fruit, I think you will love this dressing over fruit salad.
Passion Fruit Dressing
Ingredients
- Scant 1/4 cups passion fruit juice (2-3 passion fruits)
- 2 teaspoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
* This dressing can easily be adapted for a green salad, rather than a fruit salad. Just add olive oil and a pinch of salt!
Cut the passion fruits in half and strain the juice, seeds and pulp through a fine mesh sieve. Discard the seeds and pulp.
Combine the passion fruit juice, lime juice, and honey in a small bowl, and whisk to combine. Toss with fruit salad.

This sounds delicious! I don’t really have access to fresh passion fruits around these parts, but I do occasionally order some bottled juice to make cocktails. Do you think that would work in this dressing?
Yes, I think bottled passion fruit juice would work really well in this. I plan to try it myself soon!
How much olive oil do we add for a green salad?
I used equal parts passion fruit juice and olive oil, so 1/4 cup olive oil in this case. I hope you enjoy!
