Papaya Salad

  • Prep Time: 30 minutes
  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 to 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 or 2 dried hot chiles
  • 1 fresh Thai chile
  • 1 green unripe papaya, thinly shredded lengthwise
  • 1 tablespoon palm sugar or light brown sugar
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce, or more to taste
  • 6 cherry tomatoes, halved

Directions

  • In a large mortar and pestle, crush garlic and both types of chiles to a coarse paste. Add papaya, sugar, and lime juice and continue to stir with the pestle and a spoon to blend.
