    Cut the papaya lengthwise, remove seeds with a teaspoon, peel, and slice the flesh into about 5 mm thick strips.

    Shake the flowers well, pluck the petals, wash, and dry by shaking again.

  6. 6.

    Combine Radicchio, Lollo bionda, sugar snap peas, and papaya strips in a salad bowl.

    Wash the chili pepper, halve it, remove seeds, and finely dice.
