PAPAYA LIME SUPERBOWL!



This was a very fun and easy recipe!  The presentation of this dish is something you would find in a five-star restaurant!  I mean, it's just beautiful!! 







Equipment:  Blender

Ingredients:

1 medium papaya (makes 2 bowls)
1 mango, diced
1 juicy orange
1 juicy lime
4 large fresh strawberries
4 mint leaves, sliced in thin strips

Ok, so first, cut open your papaya lengthwise, like this...







Now scoop out the seeds with a spoon and discard.  


Now very carefully take a small knife and carve around the edge of the papaya.  BE CAREFUL to not pierce the papaya skin!  If you have a heavy hand, just use a spoon!


*No need to push your knife in deep.  You will be carving it all out with a spoon next step*

Next, scoop all the papaya out with a spoon into your blender... (See I told you)
 

You will end up with two papaya bowls...






Ok, now dice up your mango! (If you don't know how, check out my 'How Do I Cut That?' blog).  Here's a quick picture...




Place your mango in the blender but save about 8 squares for the top of your dish!!

Now squeeze all the juice out of your lime into the blender...

 

 Now squeeze all the juice from your orange in there, too!
 
*If you have a very juicy orange, just use half*

Toss 3 to 4 large strawberries in...
 


Blend it up until smooth and pour into your papaya bowls!!







Now garnish with your extra mango and mint strips!  BEAUTIFUL!





ENJOY!!!!

 
*Notes:  Just don't omit the mint!  Something about mint and lime together is just delicious!  It's essential!
 
Also, when you serve this to whoever else you made it for, notice their reaction when you hand him/her the plate.  It's PRICELESS!  :D
 
~*I would also like to credit my Mom for the 'Superbowl' name*~
