  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • Juice of 2 limes

Мethod of preparation

Begin by preparing the papaya: peel and cube a ripe papaya, ensuring the pieces are bite-sized. Next, thinly slice a large cucumber for adding a crisp texture. In a large bowl, combine the cubed papaya and sliced cucumber along with chopped fresh mint leaves. Add thinly sliced red onion for a slight bite and halved cherry tomatoes for a burst of color. To craft the dressing, whisk together the juice of two limes and two tablespoons of olive oil in a small bowl. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste, enhancing the natural flavors of the salad. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad mixture and gently toss to coat all ingredients evenly. Allow the salad to chill in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully. Before serving, give the salad a final toss and garnish with additional mint leaves for a fresh finish. This tropical papaya and fresh cucumber salad is best enjoyed cold, offering a refreshing and invigorating taste of the tropics.
