Grilled Pawpaw Salad Recipe

Pawpaw is a wonderfully nutritious fruit. It’s absolutely chock-full of vitamin C, folate, vitamin A, magnesium, antioxidants and fibre. However, my favourite thing about pawpaw is it contains papain, an enzyme that works to digest protein. Your gut will love this salad!
