Serve Your Papaya (or Save for Later).

Enjoy Your Papaya!

D.Schmidt
Place the papaya in a dessert bowl and serve as is. Or squeeze a little lime juice over (this brings out the tropical flavors of the papaya). Another way to enjoy fresh papaya is to combine it with other fruit in a fresh fruit salad, such as my Tropical Thai Fruit Salad. For more links to recipes that call for fresh papaya, see below.

To Store Papaya:Store leftover prepared fruit in closed containers in the refrigerator. Fresh Papaya will keep for up to 1 week.

Enjoy!!!
