I wasn't sure about the combination of cucumber and papaya, but it actually worked really well.

This salad was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a serrano pepper instead of a jalapeƱo.

This salad was a refreshing and flavorful side dish to my grilled salmon. The combination of cucumber, papaya, and mint was perfect, and the dressing was light and tangy.
