Ripe Papaya Salad, this is what I made yes ‘day night for our dinner. As I said earlier, our weekend dinners are generally allocated for soup or salad.

And that’s the time I keep trying something new. I make salads, only with the veggies and fruits that I have in my fridge, rather than accumulating the ingredients to make something. 

It hardly took 10 mins from start to end to make this colourful bowl, out of which 8 mins is for peeling and cutting the veggies and 2 mins for mixing. And at last, just 5 mins to empty the bowl… 🙂 

After making this salad and devouring it, I was pleased to find these eye lifting health benefits of papaya & flax seeds over the internet.
