1 cup diced ripe papaya
1 cup diced pineapple
3 tablespoons lime juice
dash of salt
1 teaspoon sugar

Be sure papaya is at right stage of ripeness for finest flavor; skin is green with yellow mottling and flesh is about texture of ripe cantaloupe. Cut in half, remove seeds, pare and dice. Combine papaya, pineapple, lime juice, salt and sugar; cover tightly and chill. Serve Papaya Cocktail in cocktail glasses with a few gratings of fresh lime rind on top, if desired. Do not use papaya seeds.
