I love making this as an appetizer if we're planning on having a heavy dinner. It's a light, healthful treat made with papaya, tomato, and red pepper in a lovely papaya seed dressing. Awesome with pieces of fresh baguette, crackers, or tortilla chips.

In a food processor or blender, combine the papaya seeds, sugar, wine vinegar, oil, mustard and green onions. Process until smooth and thick, and most of the seeds have broken up. Pour over the papaya mixture and stir to coat all of the ingredients. Serve with slices of baguette.

Tabitha's Homemade Wheat Bread
This whole wheat bread has a really good taste depending on your flour. I think King Arthur® is the best! This bread has cocoa and coffee in it. It can be made by hand, or use your bread machine's dough setting to knead and rise, then bake it in the oven. If you are not feeling bold you can leave out the cocoa and coffee and add some nuts. Have fun! Form into a freehand loaf or place into a greased loaf pan.
