Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup lime juice
1/4 cup fish sauce
4 teaspoons palm sugar
2 Thai chiles, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, grated
One 3-ounce package dried shrimp
Kosher salt
4 Chinese long beans, cut into 2-inch pieces
One 1 1/2- to 2-pound green (unripe) papaya, peeled and seeded
1 cup shredded carrots
1/2 cup roasted peanuts, chopped, plus more for garnish
6 cherry tomatoes, quartered
3 scallions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Add the lime juice, fish sauce, palm sugar, chiles and garlic to a small bowl and whisk to combine. Add the dried shrimp and set aside for at least 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil and set up a bowl of ice water. Add the long beans to the boiling water and cook until just tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and cool in the ice water. Drain and set aside.
  • Julienne the papaya with a mandoline and put in a large bowl. Add the carrots, peanuts, tomatoes, scallions and long beans and toss to combine.
  • Add the dressing with the shrimp to the salad, then add the cilantro leaves and toss to combine. Transfer to a large serving dish and top with additional peanuts and cilantro leaves.

This recipe is a fail. I followed the instructions exactly, but my salad was a mushy mess.

I had high hopes for this salad, but I was disappointed. The flavors just didn't come together for me.

This salad is a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I'll probably use less chili next time.

This papaya salad was a hit at my last party! The combination of sweet, sour, and spicy flavors was perfect, and the crunchy peanuts added a great texture. I will definitely be making this again.
