Ingredients:
I cannot credit any culinary influences for the inspiration for this dish, save perhaps my own mad genius and desire to work with a cool, unique bunch of ingredients. Despite this somewhat dubious origin, Eye of the Dragon Salad is a spectacular looking, very tasty dessert that would be equally comfortable at home or in a formal dinner setting.
Ingredients:
Two Dragonfruit. The dragonfruit is a native of Southeast Asia, and very hard to find in the states. It is a spectacular, brilliantly-colored fruit with a flavor somewhat reminiscent of kiwifruit. For this dish I used two varieties, though I have no idea of the precise name for each. Note the slight variations in external anatomy that mark them as different subspecies.
Step 1:
Pomegranate seeds, black plum, kiwifruit, longan, and gorgonzola dolce. Longan are closely related to lychee and rambutan, and have similar flavor. They have a tough brown skin and a large, dark seed. between these two inedible bits is a thin, tasty layer of pale white flesh.
