I found this when my yard was producing more papaya than I could eat. Ingredients:
2 papayas |
1 red apple, diced |
1/2 lb grapes, halved or 1/2 pint fresh strawberries, sliced |
2 tablespoons walnuts, chopped |
2 bananas |
lettuce |
nutmeg |
Directions:
1. Halve and seed papayas; refrigerate. Prepare Lime Rum Marinade (recipe follows). In mixing bowl, toss apples, grapes and walnuts together; combine with marinade. Cover and refrigerate. Meanwhile, prepare Creamy Dressing (recipe follows); chill. At serving time, fill papaya halves with drained, marinated fruit mixture. Arrange on lettuce lined salad plate. Garnish with banana half, split lengthwise. Place a scoop of Creamy Dressing alongside. Sprinkle with nutmeg.
2. Lime Rum Marinade:.
3. In saucepan, combine 1/4 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons water; bring to boil. Reduce heat; simmer until sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat; add 1/4 cup lime juice and 2 tablespoons light rum. Makes 1/2 cup.
4. Creamy Dressing:.
5. Into 1 cup whipping cream, whipped stiff, stir 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts, 1 tablespoon sugar and 1 teaspoon each grated lemon rind and lemon juice. Chill. Makes about 1 1/2 cups.
