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.

Tips:

Choose ripe papaya and avocado: Look for firm but slightly soft papaya and avocado with no blemishes. Avoid hard, unripe fruits as they will not have the best flavor or texture.
Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your salad the best flavor and nutrients. Avoid using store-bought dressing or croutons, as they can contain unhealthy additives and preservatives.
Customize to your liking: Feel free to add other fruits and vegetables to your salad, such as mango, pineapple, or cucumber. You can also add a protein source, such as grilled chicken or shrimp.
Make ahead: This salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. However, avoid adding the dressing until just before serving to prevent the salad from becoming soggy.
