Notes: Ellie Stepo of Kailua, Hawaii, uses local fruit to make this colorful salad. If desired, reserve some of the peppery seeds from the papayas to use in the dressing.
Ingredients:
3 cups diced (about 3/4 in.) peeled, seeded firm-ripe papayas (about 1 lb. total)
5 cups (about 1/2 lb.) watercress sprigs, rinsed and crisped
1/2 cup thinly sliced sweet onion such as maui, walla walla, or vidalia
1/4 cup white or red balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon poppy seed or papaya seeds
2 tablespoons minced fresh mint leaves
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
salt
Directions:
1. In the center of a wide, shallow bowl, mound papayas, surround with watercress, and arrange onion slices on top.
2. In a small bowl, mix vinegar, honey, poppy seed, mint, and coriander; pour over papaya salad. To serve, mix gently and add salt to taste.
