Mix in the papaya, and pulse a few times. Mix in the tomato, fish sauce, lime juice, and sugar. Pulse to combine; salad should still have texture. Transfer to a serving dish and stir in the peanuts.

Yield Makes 4 servings (about 2/3 cup dressing)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 firm-ripe papaya (10 to 12 oz), halved lengthwise
1 tablespoon finely grated peeled fresh ginger
1 tablespoon minced onion
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon dry mustard
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup vegetable oil
Lettuce leaves

Steps:

  • Scrape seeds from papaya and coarsely chop enough seeds to measure 2 tablespoons. Discard remaining seeds, then peel papaya halves and slice.
  • Press ginger in a fine-mesh sieve or a garlic press into a small bowl to extract juice (about 1 teaspoon), discarding pulp. Whisk in chopped papaya seeds, onion, tarragon, garlic, mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper and add oil in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified.
  • Divide lettuce and papaya slices among 4 plates and drizzle with dressing.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe papaya: Look for papayas that are slightly soft to the touch and have a deep orange or yellow color. Avoid papayas that are too green or have bruises or blemishes.
  • Use fresh spinach: Baby spinach or regular spinach can be used in this salad. Make sure the spinach is fresh and free of any wilted or yellow leaves.
  • Toast the walnuts: Toasting the walnuts enhances their flavor and adds a nice crunch to the salad. You can toast walnuts in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, stirring constantly, or in a preheated oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes.
  • Make your own dressing: The homemade dressing in this recipe is simple to make and adds a delicious tangy and sweet flavor to the salad. You can adjust the amount of honey or lime juice to your taste.
  • Serve immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it is made, as the spinach can wilt if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

This papaya spinach salad is a refreshing and nutritious dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The combination of sweet papaya, tangy lime, crunchy walnuts, and fresh spinach makes for a delicious and satisfying salad. With its vibrant colors and tropical flavors, this salad is sure to impress your friends and family. Experiment with different dressings and toppings to create your own unique variation of this delicious salad.
