For the salad:
- 1 Dragon fruit, peeled and diced into ¼" chunks

Combine all the ingredients, except oil, in a food processor. After mixture is semi-smooth, slowly drizzle in the oil until dressing has reached proper consistency. You may need to add more or less oil, depending on your preference. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Reserve in refrigerator.

This is a wonderful dish that combines the heartiness of the summer grill with the lightness of fresh local tropical fruit! Enjoy!
