Toss all of the above into the skillet.
Finally add in salt, Cajun and sugar. Mix well.
Transfer to serving bowl.
Top it with dragon fruit strips.

My Notes:

Cajun powder is basically a combination of cumin, thyme, paprika, black pepper and it has kosher salt. Hence it has an unique flavor. I like to sprinkle it in my dishes. The spice level differs in each brand.

I prefer to eat the crunchy sweet peppers raw rather than cook. The flavor is awesome.

Boiled egg in this recipe can be optional. I added as it completes the salad as a meal with its protein content. Can be substituted with sauteed tofu cubes.

The red/ purple dragon fruit is sweeter than the white one.
It is a crunchy fleshy fruit with the tiny seeds in every bite. One of the few fruits my husband likes.

In addition to all the nutrients in a fruit, it has as much carotene as in carrots. Its taste is between a kiwi and a pear. A very filling fruit like papaya or banana.

While selecting the fruit, press with your thumb or finger, it should give in a little; not too soft.
