### Recipe: Rare Moringa Leaves Glazed and Dragonfruit Salsa Vegetarian Feast

#### Ingredients

**For the Moringa Leaves:**
– 2 cups fresh moringa leaves (you can find these at health food stores or farmers’ markets)
– 2 tbsp olive oil
– 1 tbsp lemon juice
– 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
– 1 garlic clove, minced
– Salt and pepper to taste

**For the Dragonfruit Salsa:**
– 1 large dragonfruit, diced
– 1/2 cucumber, diced
– 1/4 red onion, finely chopped
– 1 small jalapeño, finely chopped (optional, for a bit of heat)
– Juice of 1 lime
– 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
– Salt and pepper to taste

**For Serving:**
– Steamed quinoa or brown rice
– Optional: A dollop of Greek yogurt or a vegan yogurt alternative

#### Instructions

**Step 1: Prep the Moringa Leaves**
First things first, wash your moringa leaves thoroughly. You want to make sure there’s no dirt hanging around. After washing, pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

**Step 2: Make the Glaze**
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey (or maple syrup), minced garlic, and a bit of salt and pepper. This glaze is going to turn your moringa leaves into something magical, trust me!

**Step 3: Sauté the Moringa Leaves**
Heat a pan over medium heat. Once it’s hot, add the moringa leaves and sauté them for about 3 minutes until they start to wilt. Then pour the glaze over the leaves and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they’re nicely coated and slightly caramelized. Set aside.

**Step 4: Prepare the Dragonfruit Salsa**
In a medium bowl, combine the diced dragonfruit, cucumber, red onion, and jalapeño. Squeeze the lime juice over the mixture, add the chopped cilantro, and season with salt and pepper. Toss everything together gently. Look at those colors – isn’t it like a tropical party in a bowl?

**Step 5: Assemble Your Feast**
On a plate, serve a bed of steamed quinoa or brown rice. Place a generous helping of the glazed moringa leaves on top. Add a big scoop of the dragonfruit salsa on the side. If you like, add a dollop of Greek yogurt (or a vegan yogurt alternative) for some creaminess.
