Paw Paw Fruit Salad

written by Katrina - The Organised Housewife October 20, 2017

Scrumptious new fruits are back in season at my local supermarket.  I am over the strawberries, the last few punnets I have had hidden mushy ones on the bottom, not impressed.

Have you tried paw-paw (also known as papaya)? It’s an acquired taste. It has a flavour somewhat similar to a banana and mango. I don’t enjoy paw-paw on its own, but my Nan used to make this delicious fruit salad which I make for my kids regularly too.  They love it, especially it sits all day, marinating in all the fruit juices.

Simply add the following to a bowl and sit in the fridge for a few hours before eating:

  • 1 paw-paw, deseeded
  • 2 oranges, diced
  • 2 passionfruit

This Paw Paw Fruit salad is a fresh and healthy tropical salad.

What is your favourite fruit salad combo?

that looks really tasty I think my kids would love it. I do like pawpaw I know call me strange but have a bit of trouble getting one of my daughters to eat it by itself.

I'm not a fan of Pawpaw by itself but this after a day of sitting together is just yummy, hope your kids like it!!

Remember not to eat too much paw paw if ur pregnant it could cause a miscarriage. Also young kids shouldn’t eat too much either. Trust me we’ve been growing paw paw for generations in my family. It’s a very strong fruit we use it to marinate meat and it dissolves it into mush in a short period of time.

Thankyou for the tip, I had no idea. We only eat it every now and then when on special

I feel the same as you! Paw paw on its own is a bit cloying. I have always just squeezed orange juice over it, as it is perfect to cut through the almost overpowering flavour of the paw paw. I just love your idea of diced orange and passion fruit! Both are the perfect match! Will be making this soon! Thanks ??????

Hi Annette, Glad you like the idea of the orange and passion fruit addition. Orange Juice would be great also. Thank you for sharing
