Papaya salad with goat's cheese and brazil nut dressing

Not yet rated

This fresh papaya salad recipe is incredibly quick and easy to make, combining a fantastic array of flavours. The tropical papaya is mellowed by the creamy goat's cheese, while the rich Brazil nut dressing is spiked with a little acidity from fresh lime juice. This salad would be perfect as a side to a summer barbecue and can be served as one large platter as a colourful table centrepiece.
