Ingredients

1/3 cup rice vinegar
1/3 cup canola oil
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1/2 small sweet onion, chopped
2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
2 tablespoons fresh papaya seeds
1 large sweet onion, thinly sliced and rinsed with cold water
1 pound mixed salad greens
2 avocados, pitted, peeled and sliced
1 cup papaya, cut into bite-sized pieces


Directions

In a blender, whirl vinegar, oil, sesame oil, chopped onion, sugar, salt and mustard until smooth. Add papaya seeds and pulse until the seeds look like coarsely ground peppercorns.

In a large bowl, combine sliced onion, salad greens and 3/4 of avocado slices and papaya.

Pour dressing over salad and toss gently to coat. Arrange salad on a large platter and top with remaining slices of avocado and papaya.
