Vibrant Papaya and Beetroot Salad

1.Start by preparing the beetroot. If it's not already cooked, boil it in water for about 30-40 minutes until tender. Once cooked, let it cool, peel, and dice it into small cubes.

2.While the beetroot is cooking, peel and dice the papaya into bite-sized pieces. Set aside in a large mixing bowl.

3.Next, thinly slice the onion and add it to the bowl with the papaya.

4.Dice the tomatoes and add them to the mixing bowl as well, combining all the fresh ingredients together.

5.Once the beetroot is ready and cooled, add the diced beetroot to the mixing bowl with the other ingredients.

6.In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice and honey (if using) until well combined. Pour this dressing over the salad mixture.

7.Gently toss all the ingredients together until everything is evenly coated with the dressing. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

8.Transfer the salad to a serving dish and garnish with fresh cilantro leaves before serving.
