Ingredients

Makes 4 servings (about 2/3 cup dressing)

　　1 firm-ripe papaya (10 to 12 oz), halved lengthwise

　　1 tablespoon finely grated peeled fresh ginger

　　1 tablespoon minced onion

　　1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon

　　1 teaspoon minced garlic

　　1 teaspoon dry mustard

　　2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

　　1/2 teaspoon salt

　　1/8 teaspoon black pepper

　　1/2 cup vegetable oil

Step 1

Scrape seeds from papaya and coarsely chop enough seeds to measure 2 tablespoons. Discard remaining seeds, then peel papaya halves and slice.

　　

Step 2

Press ginger in a fine-mesh sieve or a garlic press into a small bowl to extract juice (about 1 teaspoon), discarding pulp. Whisk in chopped papaya seeds, onion, tarragon, garlic, mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper and add oil in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified.

　　

Step 3

Divide lettuce and papaya slices among 4 plates and drizzle with dressing.
