For a more intense onion flavor, use fresh Maui onions. If unavailable, Vidalia or other sweet onions work as a great substitute. The papaya seeds add a unique, slightly peppery flavor. If you prefer a milder taste, you can reduce the amount or omit them altogether. Adjust the sugar to your liking, depending on the sweetness of the onions you are using. This dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
