Description

Looking for something light, healthy, and totally delicious? This Papaya Salad checks all the boxes! It’s fresh, satisfying, and ready in just 20 minutes.

Ingredients
 

For Salad

  • 4 cups papaya
  • 4 cups lettuce leaves
  • ¼ cup roasted almonds
  • ¼ cup roasted walnuts
  • ¼ cup feta cheese

Salad Dressing

  • ¼ cup black raisins
  • ⅓ cup sesame seeds black or white
  • 6 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 3 pinch salt
  • ¼ teaspoon honey mustard

Instructions

  • Roast the almonds and walnuts on a low flame, up until they turn light golden-brown. Set aside, let them cool completely.
  • Peel the papaya, remove the seeds, and cut it into small, bite-sized cubes. Then roughly chop the lettuce leaves. Any variety works here, so use what you have on hand.
  • In a separate bowl, mix dressing ingredients. Taste it and adjust the seasoning if needed. Set aside.
  • Now mix everything well. Serve and enjoy.

Notes

  • You can use arugula leaves or any type of lettuce leaves for this salad.
  • Avocado is also a great addition. I’ve tried it and it tastes delicious.
