Healthy, because
The exotic papaya contains a lot of water but hardly any calories and helps to digest heavy, protein-rich food more easily. It also makes you fit and protects the body from aggressive free radicals.
Even smarter
The salad tastes even fruitier if you add some mango. The rich yellow flesh protects the skin from aging and strengthens the immune system.
