Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large (about 1.5 pounds) Green papaya
- 1 medium Carrot
- 10 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup Green beans
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 0.25 cup Roasted peanuts
- 1 piece Red chili (Thai or bird's eye)
- 1 clove Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Palm sugar
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
Instructions
Peel the green papaya and carrot, then use a julienne peeler or shred them into thin strips. Set aside in a mixing bowl.
Blanch the green beans in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and cut into 2-inch pieces.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl with the green papaya, carrot, and green beans.
In a mortar and pestle, crush the garlic and red chili until a paste is formed.
Add the fish sauce, lime juice, palm sugar, soy sauce, and sesame oil to the mortar. Gently mix until the sugar dissolves and the dressing is well combined.
Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to combine.
Add the roasted peanuts and fresh cilantro. Toss once more to distribute evenly.
Transfer the salad to a serving plate or bowl and garnish with additional peanuts and cilantro if desired.
Serve immediately as a starter or alongside grilled protein for a complete meal.
