Description
I love making this as an appetizer if we’re planning on having a heavy dinner – it’s a light healthful treat made with papaya, tomato and red pepper in a lovely papaya seed dressing. Awesome with pieces of fresh baguette, crackers or tortilla chips.
Ingredients
- 1 papaya
- 5 roma (plum) tomatoes, diced
- ½ red onion, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
- ¼ cup chopped fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- ¼ cup red wine vinegar
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- ½ teaspoon mustard powder
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 French baguette, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
Instructions
- Cut papaya in half and remove seeds. Reserve 2 tablespoons of seeds for the dressing. Peel and dice the papaya
- and place in a medium bowl. Add tomatoes
- red onion
- red pepper and basil
- and set aside.
- In a food processor or blender
- combine the papaya seeds
- sugar
- wine vinegar
- oil
