1 small papaya, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch cubes |
1/2 red or green bell pepper, seeded and chopped |
1 large ripe avocado, cut into 1/2-inch cubes |
2 jalapeño peppers, seeded and minced |
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro |
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind |
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
1 tablespoon honey |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
