For a milder flavor, reduce the amount of cilantro and chili powder. Alternatively, a pinch of cayenne pepper can replace chili powder. If green papaya is unavailable, jicama or green mango can be used as substitutes. Salad can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Flavor improves as it sits.
