sweet papaya crunch

papaya choose carefully,
a papaya that looks firm and healthy is probably still at least a week from ripening
the less appealing the outer skin looks --the more likely it is to be ripe enough to cut

suggestions for ripening cut shallow lengthwise stripes along the side of the fruit
and even one of the ends.

it will usually be ready sooner
don't cut more than you can eat -- it doesn't hold its freshness forever

yogurt plain low fat for creamy texture

steel cut oats for crunch

no cooking
just add all three ingredients and slice ripe papaya to desired texture
I mix them in a small dish and then slice the papaya very small to keep it smooth
mix well
