Caribbean eye veggie salad bowl
This is an eye-catching salad with bright colors and interesting "bowl." I've served this and forgot the dressing until the halfway eating point. Everyone raved regardless, then raved again after drizzling some dressing over the top. It's fun to eat. You don't say that about veggies very often.
You have two options with this recipe. One is to serve a Caribbean Red® papaya half as a bowl with veggie gelatin inside. The other option is to horizontally slice the papaya into circles and fill the centers with the veggie gelatin before the final set.
