Traditional Caribbean Cooking

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)
Method:
Slice the avocado lengthwise into ½ inch slices. Slice the papaya width-wise into ½ inch slices. Arrange slices overlapping and alternating on a platter.

In a small bowl combine remaining ingredients and stir to combine. Spoon the dressing over the avocado and papaya and serve immediately.

Serves: 1
