Tropical Salad with ZESPRI™ Kiwifruit Honey Dressing


What you will need

200g bacon, rind removed (optional)
200g asparagus
2 firm bananas
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 buttercrunch lettuce, washed and dried and torn into bite-size pieces
half pawpaw, peeled, seeds removed and sliced into wedges
1 double smoked chicken breast (about 300g), skinned and sliced
1 large ripe but firm avocado, halved and sliced

ZESPRI™ Kiwifruit Honey Dressing

1 tablespoon salad oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon runny honey
¼ teaspoon salt
freshly ground black pepper to taste
4 ZESPRI™ GREEN Kiwifruit

What to do

If using bacon, grill it until crisp, then cut into large pieces.

Trim the asparagus and blanch 3 minutes in boiling water. Drain, refresh with cold water and part dry. Cut into short lengths.

Peel the bananas, slice thinly lengthwise and put them on a plate. Squeeze over the lemon juice and toss gently.

To make the dressing, whisk the oil with the lemon juice, honey, salt and a little black pepper. Peel the ZESPRI™ Kiwifruit. Slice one into rounds for garnishing and puree the rest. Add the pureed ZESPRI™ Kiwifruit to the bowl of dressing and blend together.

Arrange the asparagus, bananas, lettuce, pawpaw, chicken breast and avocado on a platter. Garnish with sliced ZESPRI™ Kiwifruit, and the bacon if using, and spoon over the dressing. Serve immediately.

Serves 4.
