Papaya with Lime

This papaya with lime is vegan and gluten-free, needing nothing more than ripe fruit and citrus, though adding honey takes it out of vegan territory. It is a recipe of self-love for Winter, a small, colorful ritual to welcome yourself home or start a morning with something tender and bright.

Ingredients

1 papaya, ripe
½ lime
Optional: honey, granola

Process

Find a ripe papaya. It is ok if it has some soft spots or bruises. Wash the skin. Slice it open and scrape out the seeds. Peel and slice as you like, and squeeze half a lime over it. Optional: drizzle with honey and sprinkle with granola for some extra sweetness and crunch.
