Ready for a refreshingly different salad idea? Then check out this Fresh Papaya Salad with Prawns & Garden Greens. Superb for a light, one-dish dinner, this scrumptious salad also makes a great dish for a potluck, dinner party, or barbecue/cookout. Includes a tropical low-fat salad dressing recipe that can also be poured over regular salad (make extra and keep it in your fridge for all your tossed greens!). Don't know how to buy or prepare a papaya? No problem - just check out my All About Papayas Guide. (photo by D. Schmidt)
