CHUNKY AVOCADO-PAPAYA SALSA



Chunky Avocado-Papaya Salsa image

This is based on a recipe in Kim Sunée's wonderful new book, "A Mouthful of Stars" (Andrews McMeel). Her recipe is more of a salad, a fusion of Thai and Mexican flavors. I loved the idea of combining avocado and papaya, two subtle, creamy fruits, with crunchy, bright-tasting Asian pears and spicy chiles. The first time I saw the recipe I wanted to test it right away, but I didn't have Asian pears. So I used an apple, and loved it. It's the sweet, crunchy fruit that does the trick, and apples and Asian pears both work. There are onions in the original recipe but I've made them optional.

BLACK BEAN AND PAPAYA SALSA



Black Bean And Papaya Salsa image

Provided by Marian Burros

Categories     dinner, easy, side dish

Time 25m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 15-ounce can no-salt-added black beans
2 large ripe papayas
1 small red onion to yield
1/4 cup chopped 8 ounces whole yellow or red pepper or 7 ounces chopped ready-cut pepper (1 1/2 cups)
1 jalapeño
1 small or medium clove garlic
3 tablespoons white vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
Juice of 1/2 lime
1/8 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Few sprigs cilantro to yield 2 tablespoons chopped 2 slices crusty country bread

Steps:

  • Rinse the beans thoroughly, and allow to drain.
  • Peel and coarsely chop the papayas, and place in a large bowl.
  • Finely chop the onion. Wash, trim, seed and finely chop the pepper; wash, halve, seed and finely chop the jalapeño; mince the garlic, and add the ingredients to the bowl with the beans, vinegar, sugar, lime juice, salt and pepper, and mix well.
  • Wash, dry and chop the cilantro, and mix in with the salsa. Serve with the tuna and bread or tortilla.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe papaya: Use ripe papaya for the best flavor and texture. A ripe papaya will have a yellow or orange-ish skin and will be slightly soft to the touch.
  • Use red onion for a milder flavor: Red onion has a milder flavor than white or yellow onion, which makes it a good choice for this salsa. If you prefer a stronger onion flavor, you can use white or yellow onion instead.
  • Chop the ingredients finely: Finely chopping the ingredients will help the salsa to come together and make it easier to eat. You can use a food processor or a sharp knife to chop the ingredients.
  • Add some heat: If you like spicy salsa, you can add some chopped jalapeño or serrano pepper to the salsa. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Serve immediately or chill: Papaya and red onion salsa can be served immediately or chilled for later. If you are chilling the salsa, be sure to let it come to room temperature before serving.

Conclusion:

Papaya and red onion salsa is a refreshing and flavorful salsa that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. Whether you like it spicy or mild, this salsa is sure to please everyone. So next time you are looking for a new salsa to try, give papaya and red onion salsa a try. You won't be disappointed!
