This is the kind of thing I would see reporter Denby Fawcett eating in the lunchroom at KITV. I'm going to make it for her for lunch today. You can also make this into a salsa.

Ingredients:

3 ripe papayas

3 TBS olive oil

3 TBS fresh lime juice

1 1/2 TBS soy sauce

1 tsp cumin

1/2 tsp sugar

1 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained

4 medium plum or Roma tomatoes, diced

1 fresh jalapeno pepper, minced

2 TBS finely chopped red onion

10 basil leaves, finely shredded

Instructions:

1. Cut 2 papayas in half lengthwise and remove seeds.
2. Peel, halve, seed and cube the remaining papaya.
3. In a large bowl, whish oil, lime juice, soy sauce, cumin, and sugar until well mixed.
4. Stir in papaya cubes, black beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, onion and shredded basil.
5. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon 1/2 cup salad mix into each papaya half. Serve at room temp with remaining salad mix on the side.
