Tips:
- Choose ripe papayas with vibrant orange flesh for the best flavor and texture.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the papaya into even-sized pieces to ensure uniform cooking.
- If you prefer a milder heat level, remove the seeds from the Scotch bonnet pepper before adding it to the dressing.
- Adjust the amount of lime juice and sugar to your taste preferences for a perfect balance of sweet and sour flavors.
- If you don't have access to Scotch bonnet peppers, you can substitute another hot pepper, such as habanero or cayenne, but adjust the amount to suit your heat tolerance.
- For a more substantial salad, add grilled or roasted chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
- Garnish the salad with fresh cilantro or parsley for an extra pop of color and flavor.
