Papaya is a good source of calcium, potassium, vitamins A, B, and C. It contains an enzyme, called «papain», which can act as a meat tenderizer and also helps digestion.

Ingredients

1/2 cup	orange juice	125 mL
2 tsp	balsamic vinegar	10 mL
2 tsp	Dijon mustard	10 g
1/4 tsp	cayenne pepper	1 g
1 pinch	salt [optional]	0.2 g
	ground pepper to taste [optional]
1	papaya, red, ripe, cut into bite-size pieces	1.5 kg
4 cups	mixed greens	100 g

Method

Pour the orange juice in a large bowl, then add the balsamic vinegar, mustard, and Cayenne pepper. Add salt and pepper to taste. Mix well with a fork and set aside.
Cut the papaya in half lengthwise and remove the black seeds. Peel and discard the skin which is not edible. Cut the pulp into bite-size pieces (about 1,5 cm), place them in the bowl, then set aside at room temperature for about 10 min.
Add the mixed greens, adjust the seasoning, and serve immediately.

Remarks

Because the «papain» tends to wilt the greens rapidly, prepare and eat this salad right away.
