Avocado and Papaya Salad

Easy and refreshing. Don't be afraid to use more cayenne to add a nice contrast to the sweet fruit. You can substitute whatever fruits you like, such as mango or peaches.

If I would have had some fresh cilantro on hand, I would've added some of it, chopped, to the salad too.
