Papaya & Arugula Salad

A busy Saturday spent running errands, last minute shopping for Easter dinner and then home to tidy up left me hungry but not wanting to spend much time on cooking lunch nor dinner.  Tomorrow’s Easter meal will be heavy enough cooking, so I rummaged through the fridge to find something to eat.  When I saw the huge and very ripe Mexican papaya I picked up yesterday in Lincoln Heights I immediately thought of a nice, healthy salad.  I love, love, love papaya and can eat it every day and never tire of it.
Rummaging further into the wilds of the fridge, I found a few odds and ends for my papaya salad and set about to build it.  The result was cold, delicious, crunchy, creamy salad with a hint of bitterness from the arugula being a perfect compliment to the sweet chill of the papaya.

2 gala apples, seeded, cored, peeled and cut into 1/4 inch cubes
