This refreshing Mexican green papaya salad is one of my favorite go to dishes when I want something bright and healthy without spending hours in the kitchen. Green papaya is wonderfully low in calories yet packed with digestive enzymes that are really good for your gut, making this salad as nourishing as it is delicious. What I love most is that it comes together in just twenty minutes with pantry staples you probably already have on hand. The lime juice and garlic create this vibrant dressing that makes the crisp papaya sing, while a touch of brown sugar and chili powder add just the right amount of complexity. It's the perfect side dish or light lunch that won't break the bank.
