Both the mango and papaya should be firm and only slightly ripe. Fruit that is too soft will fall apart when grated, release too much juice, and cause the salad to lose its fresh, crunchy texture.
Tip: Toss the salad with the dressing shortly before serving. This will help the fruit and carrots stay firm and prevent the salad from becoming too watery.
Tip: For extra flavour and crunch, sprinkle the finished salad with roasted peanuts, crispy fried onions, or sesame seeds.
