Reviews
delicious…I used lime juice instead of lemon – I love feta and I also love papaya…so I will make this recipe more often from now on.
I’m an Italian from Argentina and you have brought all my most favorite flavors to life in this recipe. Who would have thought of the feta and the papaya. Truly a masterpiece. I am sorry that the “latin” cuisine mentioned, which is not an accurate description for anything cooked in latin countries, was mentioned. Someone who does not know how to spell, or cook, seems to feel she knows all about “latin” cookery. Latin, meaning spanish speaking, countries have an enormous diversity of flavors. Latin cooking is not just mexican or caribbean based. There are more countries out there. Ingrid is extremely talented, and makes her show with a flare from Florida. This alone encompasses an awful lot of tastes. Thank you Ingrid.
I like this recipe a lot – enjoy the flavor combinations.
Also, am I the only one here noticing a consistent theme and “editorial” voice in the 1 star reviews…seems they’re all coming from the same bitter person with an axe to grind….whoever you are, please take your vendetta elsewhere.tter
I was so excited to get this recipie. We go to Mexico where there is always plenty of Papaya. I love it from the fruit vendor but never when I fixed it. I loved the tip she gave. I see so many people rated poor, but I trally believe that they did not get a good Papaya or did not take her tip!!! Great show….love her!
I never liked papaya until Ingrid showed me how to prepare this recipe. I always have this salad on hand in my fridge. If you don’t like papaya, do what Ingred says, put slices in the skin and let it set for a day or two, the fruit becomes delectable.
You have the look and charm for keeping people watching your show I really enjoy it and get a kick out of it. Hey if I want to hear good latin music I make sure to watch your show.
But Chica when it come’s to your recipes I have not yet have been impress by one. Latin food require certain latin spice in order to be consider latin food. Chica find your spice!

papaya and cheese? are you kidding me? and the dressing was disgusting. Come on Ingrid, make something where the ingredients actually work together!
A great combo of flavors: sweet and salty with a tang from the lemon, and the freshness of the mint. Really fabulous, plus easy to throw together. I only made a small batch because of other reviews, but i am going to make a large batch tomorrow night. Looking forward to trying her other recipes, with ingredients like mango and jicama, I never know what to do with these foods, but now I have seen some episodes with some great looking dishes, I will try them all!
I love this recipe. The fresh mint “makes” this salad. This is the first time I have ever had papaya…love it! I add some prosiutto to get some protein…even better.
Papyas are great, but the dressing on it is nasty, along with the feta. The recipe is a disaster. Dose Ingrid actually eat this stuff?
