Papaya salad

Have you ever tried papaya with lemon juice. If not this is for you. I am a fruit lover. I grew up with the patience to eat custard apple seed by seed. But I was always reluctant to eat papaya, until I found that the right texture to enjoy papaya.

Ever since I started enjoying papaya, I began experimenting with flavor combination and I fell in love with this salad.

This is a perfect summer salad loaded with cucumbers and cabbage. The dressing for this is very simple. I use this dressing when ever I include cucumber to the salad.
