TROPICAL GREEN SALAD
Pumpkin seeds, known in Spanish as pepitas, have been part of the Mexican pantry since before the arrival of Columbus in the New World, while pomegranate seeds came to the Americas with the Spanish conquistadores. Here these two distinctive ingredients are joined by the musky papaya, a Caribbean native, in a colorful salad that complements simple grilled poultry and meats.

Steps:
- FOR DRESSING: In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, orange juice, shallots, salt and pepper until the salt dissolves. Add the olive oil in a slow stream, whisking constantly until emulsified. Set aside.
- In a small, dry frying pan over medium heat, toast the pumpkin seeds until slightly puffed and golden, 3-5 minutes. Add the soy sauce and stir to mix, then immediately remove from the heat. Turn the pumpkin seeds onto a plate to cool.
- Cut off the blossom end of the pomegranate, removing some of the membrane but not cutting into the seeds. Score the skin into quarters, then break the fruit apart gently, following the scored lines. Bend back the thin hard skin and pull the seeds free of it. (If this step is done in a basin of water, the membrane and skin will float and the seeds will sink.) Set the seeds aside.
- Cut the papaya in half lengthwise and scoop out and discard the seeds. Cut each half into thin slices and place in a large salad bowl.
- Add the arugula, cheese and pomegranate seeds to the papaya. Drizzle on just enough of the dressing to coat, then toss gently. Sprinkle the pumpkin seeds over the top and serve. Pass the remaining dressing at the table.

Steps:
- For the vinaigrette:
- Whisk together the pineapple juice, red wine vinegar, shallot and salt and pepper. Slowly incorporate the canola oil. Taste, for seasoning.
- For the salad:
- In a large salad bowl, toss together the mango, papaya, cranberries, banana chips and macadamia nuts with 1 cup of the vinaigrette. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Place the mizuna on a large serving tray and top with the mixed fruit. (The salad greens hold up longer if only the fruit is tossed with the vinaigrette. However, if serving promptly, combine the greens and the fruit and toss with the vinaigrette.) Drizzle the salad with the extra dressing or serve on the side.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, orange juice, shallot, salt and pepper. Drizzle in the olive oil, whisking constantly until emulsified.

- Remove any tough stems from the arugula. Scoop out seeds from papaya, slice into eighths and pare off skin. Cut into julienne.
- In a large serving bowl, combine the arugula, papaya, Cabrales, and pomegranate seeds. Drizzle on enough vinaigrette to coat and toss gently. Sprinkle on the toasted pepitas and serve immediately.
SUPER SIMPLE TROPICAL DRESSING
I love making my own dressings because even if they contain the same amount of fat at least they don't have added chemicals and preservatives. This own is very easy and refreshing. Serve over salad greens. Yummy!!
