Servings 6 people
Ingredients
- 1 large ripe mango, peeled and diced
- 1 lb organic strawberries, sliced
- 1 ripe avocado, peeled and diced
- 1 ripe Bartlett pear, peeled and diced
Ingredients for Citrus Sesame Dressing:
- Juice from 1 orange
- Juice from 1 lemon
- 2 teaspoon roasted sesame oil
- ½ teaspoon fennel seeds, dry roasted and crushed
- ¼ teaspoon fresh thyme, rough chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Mixed sprouted micro greens, for garnish
Instructions
- Make dressing. Mix all ingredients for Citrus Sesame Dressing in a mixing bowl and whisk until a slight emulsion forms. Set aside.
- Dice mango and slice strawberries. Put diced mangoes in a large mixing bowl and set aside. Place strawberries in another bowl or plate and set aside.
- Dice pear and avocado and add to mangoes in the large mixing bowl. Toss in a few tablespoons of the dressing. The citrus juices will prevent the avocado and pear from turning brown while you plate the salad.
- Lay strawberry slices in a circular ring on a salad plate.
- Spoon out a generous portion of the diced mangoes, avocados and pears and place in the center of the ring of strawberry slices. About 3 to 4 tablespoons.
- Top with sprouted micro greens.
- Then drizzle some of the citrus sesame dressing over the top.
