Place the chopped romaine in a large salad bowl. Add the red onion, red and green bell peppers, mango, orange chunks, and black olives.
Whisk together the passion fruit pulp, sugar, salt, black pepper, minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, white wine, mustard, and fresh thyme.
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously until the dressing becomes slightly emulsified and well combined.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust as needed. Add more sugar for sweetness, passion fruit for acidity, or salt and pepper for seasoning.
Toss the salad gently with the passion fruit vinaigrette just before serving so the romaine stays crisp.
