Dragonfruit Salsa

Dragonfruit Salsa, makes for a Spicy Breakfast!

1 Dragonfruit cut into small pieces
1/4 of a Sweet Onion chopped finely
1/2 cup chopped Pineapple
1/2 cup chopped Melon
1/4 cup chopped Green Chiles, mild medium or hot
5-10 stems fresh Cilantro chopped
Dash of Chimayo Red Chile powder or Cayenne
Sea Salt and fresh ground black Pepper to taste
Juice from one Lime - or 1 Tbs cider vinegar

Mix all the fruit, onions and chile in a non-reactive bowl. Remove stems from Cilantro, chop & add to fruit mixture. Add Spices and Lime juice, mix again. Serve right away or refrigerate and serve chilled.

Notes:
Use Hatch Green Chiles - they are the best!
I have a thing for Chimayo and it is my "go to" chile red or green. If you can't find Chimayo Chile, any New Mexico Chile will do!

Listen to your Mother!

I don't normally write about breakfast it is usually coffee for me - today I found, squirreled away, behind the tea boxes, a very lovely piece of fruitcake. I had hidden it so I would Not have to share it with the Cherubrats! Well it made my day and a truly lovely breakfast, steamed to perfection! No hard sauce but it was 9:00am :(!

Mom always said eat your breakfast it is the meal of the day - today I believe her!

Please note this is not your average fruitcake that is studded with green cherries and other atrocities, soaked in rum or whiskey, aged in a dark corner can be used as a water displacement brick in your toilet tank, but a HEAVENLY creation from a friend's bake shop - All Cats Bakery, Brooklyn NY.

Unfortunately, I ate it before I took a photo and there are not any that compare on google images. If you look you will find some scary cakes!
