I adore papaya and Avocado – it’s probably become one of my favorite salads of all time – Avocado and Papaya both has this wonderful creamy texture and is not too sweet but not at all bitter. I love eating this recipe as a snack or as a side salad to my favorite dishes. Avocado and Papaya is definitely a winning combination. The colors are beautiful and the flavors are simple. This is what makes this recipe great. Let’s hear your comments.

Ingredients:

• 2 avocados, peeled, halved and pitted
• 2 papayas, peeled, halved and seeded (I don’t know what papayas are like where you live, but the ones down here in Caribbean are not so big! I needed two for this recipe – the key here is to have equal amounts of avocado and Papaya).
• 1 lime, zested and juiced
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp sugar
• 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 1/8 tsp cayenne
• ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil (good quality)
