Ingredients
Preparation steps
Separate radicchio and leaf lettuce into individual leaves. Rinse, spin dry, and tear into bite-sized pieces.
Rinse snow peas. Blanch in a pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, 2-3 minutes.
Drain the snow peas, plunge into ice water and drain in a sieve. Cut snow peas in half crosswise or into thirds.
Cut papaya in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds with a spoon. Peel and cut the flesh into slices, about 1/4 inch thick.
Gently shake the flowers to remove any debris. Pluck the petals.
Mix flower petals, radicchio, leaf lettuce, snow peas, and papaya strips in a salad bowl.
Rinse chile pepper, wipe dry, halve lengthwise and remove seeds. Finely chop chile.
Squeeze juice from lime. Measure 2 tablespoons of lime juice and mix in a small bowl with the chile. Season with salt and liquid sweetener to taste. Whisk in the olive oil.
Drizzle salad with dressing and toss to combine. Chop the cashews, sprinkle over the salad and serve.
