Chili powder surprises the palate when blended with honey and lime juice, and intensifies the already fabulous taste of the fresh fruit. Ingredients:
1 medium ripe papaya |
3 tablespoons honey |
1 teaspoon finely shredded lime peel |
3 tablespoons lime juice |
2 tablespoons canola oil |
1/2 teaspoon chili powder |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
8 cups spinach, stems removed & torn |
2 cups sliced strawberries |
1 cup pineapple or 1 cup banana, chunks |
1 cup sliced peach (and or or nectarines) |
1 cup seedless grapes, halved (green and or or red) |
1 cup blueberries |
1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans, toasted (or walnuts) |
Directions:
1. Peel papaya; cut in half lengthwise. Remove seeds; coarsely chop papaya. Measure 1 1/4 cups. In a food processor or blender combine the chopped papaya, honey, lime peel, lime juice, canola oil, chili powder, and salt. Cover; process or blend until smooth. Transfer to a covered container; chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 3 days.
2. To serve, in a very large bowl place spinach, strawberries, pineapple, peaches, grapes, blueberries, and pecans. Toss to combine. Drizzle with some of the dressing (about 1/2 cup). Toss to coat evenly. Pass remaining dressing.
3. Store any remaining dressing, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
