Origin of the Recipe
After trying a scrumptious summer salad with passion fruit dressing in Brazil last year, the flavors lingered in my mind.

Flavor Profile
Bright, fresh, and slightly creamy, this vinaigrette can enhance any salad effortlessly. Its subtle tropical and fruity taste, combined with a slight tartness, makes it the perfect dressing for light summer salads. While it may not be a traditional Brazilian dish, the abundance of passion fruit in the country makes it a fitting ingredient for dressings.
Serving Suggestions
This passion fruit vinaigrette can be used in various ways – as a veggie dip, drizzled over roasted veggies, a marinade for chicken or fish, or simply as a salad dressing. Pair it with a green salad featuring tropical fruits like mangoes, oranges, strawberries, or cherry tomatoes for a refreshing combination.
Storage and Freezing
Store the dressing in a mason jar in the fridge for up to one week, shaking it vigorously before use. If using fresh pulp, it can be frozen for up to 6 months, but avoid freezing if using frozen pulp.
Tips for Preparation
To ensure consistent results, weigh the passion fruit pulp in grams/cups rather than counting fruits, as sizes vary. Use seedless and unsweetened pulp concentrate for the best flavor. If you need tips on extracting seeds from ripe or frozen fruit, refer to the passion fruit juice recipe.
