Peel the papaya, using a vegetable peeler.

Prep your ingredients in advance: This salad is all about fresh, colorful ingredients, so take the time to wash and chop your fruits and veggies before you start assembling the salad.
Choose ripe, flavorful fruits: The riper the fruits, the sweeter and more delicious your salad will be. Look for fruits that are brightly colored and free of bruises.
Don't overdress the salad: A light dressing is all you need to enhance the flavors of the fruits and veggies. Too much dressing will weigh the salad down and make it soggy.
Serve the salad chilled: This salad is best served cold, so chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
