Papaya and Walnut Salad with Tropical Fruit Dressing

Some days it feels like Summer has already started. I just don’t have the will from the heat to want to cook all the time so it’s easier to make a salad. Now we all know we can’t just do with a plain old salad, we need to spruce it up with some items that will help us cool down. Here is a salad I whipped up the other day to cool down in the afternoon.

Papaya and Walnut Salad with Tropical Fruit DressingFor Salad:LettuceHandful of chopped walnutsRed and Yellow Papaya pieces (found in Tropical Fruit cans)Snap peasFor Dressing:Olive OilApple Cider Vinegardash of salt and pepperJuice from tropical fruitMake sure you wash your lettuce before you use it! Put lettuce in a bowl and add papaya, snap peas and walnuts. To make the dressing mix together a splash of olive oil, apple cider, tropical fruit juice and salt and pepper. Give it a good stir and pour over the salad. It’s really easy to whip up and make when you want something healthy but don’t want to put a lot of effort into making it. Let me know if you try it and what you think!

  It was! The cold lettuce and chilled fruit was amazing after a day in the sun.

This salad packs a wallop and is different not the same ol’ thing. I’d love to try it!
