Papaya Seed Dressing

1/2 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup honey
1 tsp. dry mustard
1/2 tsp. sea salt
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 small onion, minced
4-8 tbsp. fresh papaya seeds

Combine vinegar, honey, mustard, and salt in blender. Gradually add oil and onion. Finally, add papaya seeds and blend until they are cut to size of coarse ground pepper.

Note: the recipe called for on 2 T. papaya seeds but I but in 8 T. So I think it’s fine with what ever amount of papaya seeds your papaya has.

Four Benefits of Papaya Seeds:
1. Antibacterial properties - research has found that papaya seeds are effective against E. coli, Salmonella, and Staph infections.
2. Kidney protection - research has found that papaya seed extract may protect the kidneys from toxin-induced kidney failure.
3. Eliminates intestinal parasites - there is evidence that papaya seeds eradicate intestinal parasites. In a study done on Nigerian children with intestinal parasites, 76.7% of the children were parasite-free after seven days of treatment with papaya seeds compared to only 16.7% of the children who received a placebo.
4. Liver detoxifier - In Chinese medicine, it is believed that a teaspoon of papaya seeds will help detoxify the liver. Papaya seeds are often recommended by natural doctors in the treatment of cirrhosis of the liver.
