Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Fresh papaya seeds
• 2 tablespoons Ripe papaya flesh
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Slice open a ripe papaya and scoop out the seeds. Measure 2 tablespoons of the seeds and rinse them under cold water to remove any clinging fruit pulp.

Step 2

Scoop out 2 tablespoons of the ripe papaya flesh and set aside. This adds a mild sweetness to the dressing.

Step 3

In a blender or food processor, combine the papaya seeds, papaya flesh, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, lime juice, salt, black pepper, and water.

Step 4

Blend the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. Pause to scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed.

Step 5

Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if necessary by adding a pinch of salt or a bit more lime juice for extra tanginess.

Step 6

Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container. It can be used immediately or chilled in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Step 7

Serve the dressing over fresh greens, roasted vegetables, or as a zesty marinade for chicken or seafood.
