Recipes Appetizers and Snacks Bruschetta Recipes Papaya Bruschetta 4.6 (29) 26 Reviews 5 Photos I love making this as an appetizer if we're planning on having a heavy dinner. It's a light, healthful treat made with papaya, tomato, and red pepper in a lovely papaya seed dressing. Awesome with pieces of fresh baguette, crackers, or tortilla chips.
