Avocado Papaya Salsa
This zingy, zesty salsa is delicious with chicken or white fish, but is just as lovely on its own – it tastes so fresh and summery – plus it’s packed full of essential vitamins and antioxidants.
You’ll Need (serves 4)
- 1 ripe papaya (or mango)
- 1 firm avocado
- 1/2 a small red onion
- 1 red chilli, deseeded
- 1 large handful of basil
- 1 large handful of coriander
- 1 lime, juiced and zested
- juice of 1 lemon
- good pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon raw honey (or other sweetener of your choice)
- freshly ground black pepper
Step-by-Step
1. Peel and deseed the papaya and dice into small cubes. Do the same for the avocado. Finely dice the onion and red chili, and put everything into a serving bowl. Finely chop the herbs and add to the bowl, then add the lime zest and mix well.
2. Squeeze the lime and lemon juice into a jar, then add the salt and honey and mix well. Pour this dressing over the salsa, combine well, season with a good pinch of pepper and serve with white fish and chicken, or simply on its own.
