Green Papaya Salad Recipe

Ingredients (1 serving)

1. Preparation

Peel the green papaya using a vegetable peeler.

Using a shredder or a sharp knife, julienne the papaya into thin strips.

Place the shredded papaya in a bowl and sprinkle with salt. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to soften.

Rinse the papaya under cold water and drain well.

Julienne the carrots in the same manner as the papaya.

Chop the cherry tomatoes in half.

Finely chop the green beans into 1-inch pieces.

Mince the garlic and red chili.

2. Making the Dressing

In a small bowl, combine lime juice, fish sauce, and sugar.

Whisk together until the sugar dissolves completely.

3. Combining the Salad

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded papaya, carrots, cherry tomatoes, and green beans.

Add the minced garlic and red chili to the bowl.

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything together gently, ensuring the salad is well coated with the dressing.

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more lime juice or fish sauce according to preference.

4. Serving

Transfer the salad to a serving dish or plate.

Garnish with crushed peanuts and fresh cilantro on top before serving.
