Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 2 cups baby mâche (or endive, lamb’s lettuce, butter lettuce, or Bibb lettuce)
  • 2 cups baby arugula
  • 1 papaya, ripe but not mushy
  • 2 or 3 avocados (ripe)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons hazelnuts, coarsely chopped (toasted, or almonds, pistachios, macademias, your choice!)
  • 1 1/3 cups Papaya Seed Dressing (see Recipe #12136)
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 whole lime, cut into 6 wedges
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Place mâche and arugula in a large salad bowl, set aside.

  • Step 2: Cut the papaya in half lengthwise, then scoop out seeds and membrane. Set aside 2 tbsp. of the seeds if you're making the dressing. Peel the papaya and slice crosswise into 1/4 inch slices. Set aside.

  • If you're making the Papaya seed dressing, stop here and make the dressing before continuing

  • Step 3: Peel, pit, and slice the avocados. Set aside.

  • Step 4: Dress the mâche and arugula with about half the dressing or to your liking, tossing to combine.

  • Step 5: Place a pile of greens in the center of six salad plates. Arrange the avocado and papaya alternately over the greens. Sprinkle with nuts and grate some fresh pepper over each. Drizzle with a bit more dressing if desired. Serve immediately.

  • This is equally good with mango instead of papaya, or use all three!
