Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized ripe papaya
- 100 grams feta cheese
- 4 cups mixed salad greens
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 1 large lime
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions
Peel the papaya, cut it in half, and remove the seeds. Slice the papaya into bite-sized cubes.
Crumble the feta cheese into small pieces and set aside.
Thinly slice the red onion into half-moon shapes and soak them in cold water for 5 minutes to reduce their sharpness. Drain and pat dry.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the juice of 1 lime, olive oil, honey, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, papaya cubes, red onion slices, and crumbled feta cheese.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine, ensuring the ingredients are evenly coated.
Roughly chop the fresh mint leaves and sprinkle them over the top of the salad as a garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy this light and refreshing Papaya and Feta Salad!
