Recipe- Super Healthy Papaya Mango Salad

Green papaya salad is quite popular here and definitely one of my favorites. I often order it whenever we eat in Asian restaurants but this recipe is made using the orange/yellow papaya. I had in my refrigerator a papaya which hubby thought had become too ripe to eat and a mango which was too sour to eat. So in stead of throwing both these fruits I made a salad out of them which turned out quite delicious. We both finished the salad in 5 minutes straight.

For this salad choose a papaya which isn’t too ripe, works better. The sour mango tasted fantastic in the salad but you can very well use a sweet mango. The one that I used was little sour.

1 mango cut into small cubes
½ tablespoon lemon juice
