Green Papaya Salad
The papaya or mango needs to be almost crunchy, so find the most underripe example you can.

Total time:
10 minutes
Serves: 2
Ingredients
- ½ very underripe papaya or mango

- 1 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tbsp Thai fish sauce
- 1 tomato, deseeded and cut into strips
- 1 tbsp chopped roasted almonds
Method
- Peel the papaya or mango, discarding any seeds. With a sharp knife, cut into julienne strips.
