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.

I made this recipe using 2 papayas, 1/2 c mayonnaise and 1 T curry powder. For the amount of papaya that I ended up with, I could actually have used 1/4 c mayonnaise to 1 T curry powder. I really enjoyed this recipe, unfortunately the rest of my family didn't like it. They like mayo, but thought this had just a little too much mayo taste for them. I want to try this again using creme fraiche instead of the mayo. Also, I'll increase the amount of curry powder.
