  This is exactly the kind of salad I like except not a fan of papaya.... Who has a good idea for a substitute? Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

  Enjoyed this. It was very summery and light. I did only use 1 avocado. Also instead of using water cress I used our home grown salad leaves and added a red pepper. The dressing was great too.

  One of the tastiest and most popular salads I have ever put together! We had this with seared Tuna + sesame seeds, really worked well. Just have to be careful, if the Avocado and Papaya are too ripe it turns mushy when tossing the salad. Health on a plate!! Excellent dressing.
