Notes
Use a papaya and avocado that are ripe but still slightly firm – that way the cubes hold their shape when mixed. The lime juice not only adds freshness but also keeps the avocado from browning. It's best to mix the salsa just before serving and taste it once more at the end with salt, lime and maple syrup – the balance of sweet, sour and spicy is what makes it.
