Papaya Salsa

Papaya Salsa - June 28th, 2012
Thank You Kristina!!

This salsa was made possible by my very thoughtful friend Kristina. After hearing my disappointment at not being able to make the salsa last night, she surprised me by arriving to work this morning with two papayas.

Papaya Salsa - page 126

"Papayas are tropical fruits that appeal to most palates, making them a perfect addition to this summer salsa."


Incredibly quick and easy to prepare, this salsa is AWESOME!! It's got a little bit of heat, and it full of flavour. Prep consisted of some simple knife work to diced everything up and the squeezing of a lime. I like easy!

We were going over to our friends Meghan & Craig's place this evening for supper. Craig was preparing a Vegan meal for all of us as our vegan friend Gill was also coming. On a side note, you wouldn't have known that this was the first vegan meal he has ever made. It was DELICIOUS!!

I decided that this salsa would be an excellent appetizer to take with us. We stopped and pick up some Tostito Scoops (and beer) on our way there. The salsa was a hit! Everyone really loved it. Yahoo!!

All the flavours of this salsa work really nicely together. Papaya, red onion, red peppers, black beans, jalapenos, garlic, lime and cumin. As I will most definitely be making this again, I think I will also add some mango in there too. The recipe did call for cilantro but I left that out as Niall isn't the biggest fan of the stuff.

We brought home the left overs of the salsa. Niall can snack on it tomorrow. But we did do a little taste test to see how it went with some Tostito Hint of Lime Nachos. Mmmm-mmm-good!

I'll post tomorrow what the new recipes will be for next week. I hope you are enjoying this little challenge as much as I am. Stay tuned :)
