Palm Grove Papaya Salad

Missy Wombat's Note:

My toddler went beserk over this vegetarian salad on offer at the Palm Grove Resort in Rarotonga in the Cook Islands. Shirley, the owner, was kind enough to share the recipe. Very simple, very quick and as my toddler says..."Nummy, dicious (Yummy, delicious)...more please!"

Based on other comments, I used 1 medium/large papaya, 1/4 cup of mayo, 1 T of curry powder, and added a few hemp seeds for texture. It was great by itself, in a salad, and in wraps with lettuce.

Made this up the night before and allowed it to compleltely chill. While it was "good" after just making it needs to sit awhile and allow the flavors to penetrate the fruit. I used about 3/4 of a medium size papaya and 1/2 cup mayo with about 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh curry powder. Everyone thought it was nice and refreshing.
