The secret to maintaining a bit of crunch in this fruit based salad, is to incorporate the papaya and mango when they are slightly under-ripe. They should be starting to lose their green color, but not so ripe that when pressed, the flesh sinks in easily. The addition of mild peppers rounds out the tropical appeal. And of course the easy homemade vinaigrette brings it all together. Serve chilled or at room temperature with Chef Irie’s Herb Crusted Salmon in Tomato Basil Sauce.
- ¼ cup canola oil
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 limes, juiced
- 1 semi ripe mango, julienned
- 1 semi ripe papaya, julienned
- 1 julienned green & red peppers
- 1 small red onion, julienned
- 1 Jalapeño, julienned
- ½ bunch rough chopped cilantro
- Kosher salt & black pepper to taste
- Whisk the mustard, lime juice and oil in a small bowl . Season to taste with salt & pepper.
- Add all the slaw ingredients in a large bowl and add the mustard dressing.
- Toss well and adjust seasoning to taste. Place in fridge to chill.

We would like to have the recipe for the tomato basil sauce. Unable to find it.
Sure Debra! You can find it along with the salmon at https://tastetheislandstv.com/herb-crusted-salmon/. Enjoy!
I am so happy that Chef Irie is on the Create channel now. I would really love to buy a recipe book on him. He is great. I have been to Jamaica three times and I love it. Can you tell me when he will be coming out with a recipe cookbook? Or does he already have one.
Hi Mary,
We know he’s working on one but we aren’t able to say when it will be available. Thanks for watching and enjoying the show. We’ll continue to post recipes on the site in the mean time.
Love the show! Just found it on my local PBS station. Could you please post the Rum Raisin Bread Pudding with Coconut sauce recipe? I saw it on one of the episodes but can’t find it on your site:(. Thank you:)
Hi Janet,
So sorry for the delay. We’re still waiting for that recipe but will post it as soon as we have it. Thanks so much for your patience!
Thank you! I can’t wait:)
Any news on the raisin bread pudding recipe? The one on the site is not the one from the show. Thank you!

Hi Godina, that’s one of the recipes we’re still working on getting up on the site very soon. Please stay tuned! Thanks for watching 🙂
Thank you or coming to Create TV. I have a Jamaican background with very little food knowledge, so this makes me happy.
Made the mango papaya salad. Delicious! I would like to try the lentil salad Chef made with Maxi Priest. Is that recipe available yet? The lentils in my cabinet are calling out to you.
