was given a paw paw, and it was getting very ripe. Dont like them by themselves, so I thought I would find a recipe here, and I found yours!!! didnt have parsley, and used red wine vinegar (didnt read it right). It tasted great! hubby wasnt that impressed, and I dont think I would bother with the capers next time. I had some with some fish and chips, and put a big scoop on top of ordinary salad to take to work, and the co-workers commented on the colour and the smell. Will definately make this again, and it is so colourful it would make a lovely gift.

Fabulous! I never made anything with a papaya but my hubby bought 3 thinking they were avocados. I made this without the red peppers and capers and it was out of this world! I made a 2nd batch the next day. Just thinking about it is making my mouth water. Thanks so much
