Recipe Tips
Storing leftover papaya: To store the other half of a papaya, scoop out the seeds and place the cut side down on a plate or in an airtight container and refrigerate it promptly. It's best to use it within 2 days max.
Choose a perfectly ripe papaya: It should yield slightly to pressure and have a mild tropical aroma.
Chill before serving: Once your papaya is perfectly ripe, store it whole in the fridge. Serving it chilled makes the creamy yogurt and crunchy granola taste even more refreshing
