Arugula, Avocado & Papaya salad

Its great how everything just falls in place without any thought.  Since I came back from my 2 and a bit week long vacation, I experienced grocery shopping amnesia.  I had trouble gathering ingredients together to make proper meals.  I forgot the ability to meal plan for the week.  So for the first week, I went to my local grocer every single day! One day I needed broccoli, the day after, I needed red pepper.  It was quite an experience.  Getting back to my day job was an easier task than making meals! So the fact I was able to magically come up with this dish ....was.....magically.

The papaya I had brought on sale was ready to be cut open, my avocado I had brought a week ago had ripen.  So as I was cutting the huge papaya to pieces, I thought..... why don't I include the avocado and other ingredients together to make a salad? (I had originally wanted to eat the papaya with a sprinkle of lime. try it. It's refreshing.)  And presto!!

I also had a box of arugula in the fridge so I thought, why not! So I assembled this salad together and boy was I right.  If you have arugula on its own, its quite pungent in taste, but if you had eat it with other ingredients, it changes to a sweet & aromatic flavour.  Try having arugula and avocado together, it makes a GRRRREAT combo.  Go ahead and make your own! Change up the ingredients to suit your own flavour!
