On the quest to find my ****ake or Kelp noodles, I ventured into one of the large Asian markets nearby today. Shopping with an Asian friend, I followed her lead and purchased a nice amount of shredded papaya from produce.
I just mixed it up with a few raisins and diced apples. I tossed it with some raspberry vinagrette. I have to say, this is my new fabulous find. Most Asian supermarkets have this ready to go in produce in a large vat. I have been passing it for years but no more. This will be in my basket every week.
I have just read about all the fantastic benefits of papaya as well. WOW! Another reason--and perhaps the best reason--to add it to my list each week.
Just wanted to share! By the way, I still have not located my noodles!
