Green Papaya Salad Recipe
Ingredients
Serves 6 as side dish
4 cups papaya, finely shredded
2 spring onions, finely sliced on an angle
1 large red pepper, finely sliced in strips
1–2 medium Lebanese cucumbers, peeled, deseeded and finely diced
2 handfuls green beans, raw or lightly blanched and finely sliced
½ cup cashews, roughly chopped
½ cup lime juice (1–2 limes)
1 tbs toasted sesame oil
1 tbs tamari (wheat-free Japanese soy sauce)
1 tsp good salt
1 fresh chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
(optional)
1 small clove garlic, finely minced (optional)
½ bunch fresh coriander, finely shredded
Method
Papayas are best picked green for this dish, with only the slightest tinge of yellow, if any.
Peel off the skin, cut into quarters and take out the seeds, then grate on the finest grater that you have. I suggest you use a food processor to grate this salad.
Place the freshly grated papaya, spring onions, red pepper, cucumber, green beans and cashews into a bowl and toss to combine the ingredients.
Place the lime juice, toasted sesame oil, tamari, good salt, chilli and garlic into a bowl and gently beat with a fork. Drizzle over the salad and toss with the fresh coriander.
Serve with any of your favourite Thai dishes or simply as a salad in its own right.
