Serves 6 – 8
Summer salads are fresh, fruity, and full of vibrant color and flavor. This one is commonly made with mango (and is really good that way) but we tried it with papaya, another summer seasonal fruit, and loved the results! Papaya is refreshing and available this time of year. It’s a summer salad that is easy, colorful, and a winner in our house.
Ingredients:
2 avocados, semi-ripe
2 papayas, not too soft (or 1 extra large one)
3 limes
1 small red onion, minced
1 teaspoon ginger, minced2 tablespoons olive oil
2 scallions, white part only, cut thin on the bias
¼ cup cilantro or basil leaves, sliced thin
Salt and pepper
Preparation:
Peel and pit the avocados and slice the flesh into 10 wedges. Peel and seed the papaya and slice the flesh into 12 wedges.
Juice the limes into a bowl. Add the red onion and ginger and mix. Set it aside for 5 minutes to blend the flavors. Add the remaining ingredients and gently toss. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve immediately.
