Jamaican Papaya Salad

 
Image
Papaya is one of the most commonly found fruits within the islands of the Caribbean, and it is used both as a fruit and as a vegetable, depending on when it is picked and cooked. As this Ramadan falls on the tail-end of summer, what could be more refreshing to have with your iftar than a papaya salad. Easy to digest and rich with vitamins A, C, and calcium and low in calories, there is no kinder way to reactivate your digestive juices.
