Dragon Fruit Salad

Dragon fruit is a succulent cactus and one of the more easily accessible exotic fruits in the US.

If you've been to Dekalb Farmers Market or an Asian market, you've no doubt seen the beautiful fruit.
Dragon fruit is a great source of vitamin C and also contains some iron. Because iron is better absorbed in the presence of vitamin C, Dragon fruit is perfect😋😎.
