Green papaya salad
This simple salad recipe is delicious and very easy to prepare. The crunchy texture of the green papaya and peanuts contrasts well with the cherry tomatoes while the fish sauce in the dressing provides plenty of zest.
When choosing the green papaya, make sure it is unripe to ensure maximum crunchiness!
Ingredients:
1/2 Green (unripe) Papaya
5 Cherry Tomato
2 tbsp Peanuts (finely chopped)
2 cloves Garlic
2 tbsp Lime juice
3 tbsp Sugar
1 tbsp Fish sauce
1 chopped Chilli (seedless)
1 tbsp Mint leaves (torn)
Method:
1) Peel the green papaya and finely slice the flesh. Cut each slice lengthwise into matchsticks (or equivalent).
2) Cut the cherry tomatoes into chunks.
3) Put the garlic and chilli into a bowl and crush into small pieces with a wooden spoon and add sugar, lime juice and fish sauce.
4) Combine the papaya and cherry tomatoes with the dressing and toss until even.
5) Sprinkle some finely chopped peanuts and torn mint leaves over the salad and serve.
