Salad recipes

A quick yet refreshing Thai cucumber salad accompanies well with most of your summer Barbecue dishes.

A very tasty and refreshing salad, it's a perfect side dish with barbecued meat.

The health benefits of green papaya exceed those of the ripe variety. Raw green papaya is packed with vitamins, enzymes and phytonutrients. It contains vital nutrients including potassium, magnesium, and vitamins A, C, E and B. However, perhaps the most important health property of green papaya is its ability to improve digestion and the uptake of nutrients, raising enzyme levels and improving assimilation, and thus also strengthening the immune system. Green papaya contains two of the most powerful plant proteolytic enzymes: papain and chymopapain. These enzymes excel at breaking down proteins, fats and carbohydrates, as well as aiding healthy digestion. Papain can only be found in the papaya fruit and is more effective than pepsin produced by our own stomachs.

Yum

Great for using up turkey left overs after a Holiday feast. The fruit, nuts and seasonings give the salad a unique flavor.
