Thai Green Papaya Salad
Papaya? Pawpaw? They are slightly different but will both work in this salad, and really well. My husband has been growing pawpaw for some time and we finally cut one off the tree and it wasn't ripe, so what else could we do than one of these amazing salads? Not exactly green, but certainly delicious in all its unripeness!
You could also use green mango for this recipe, papaya or pawpaw as well of course and along with the snake beans, all should be widely available in Asian grocers. I have to say, delish. Just delish. Put it on your menu! Enjoy!

To assemble the salad, place all ingredients in a large bowl, with the dressing and toss to combine. The salad should be dressed in advance of serving. I suggest allowing it to sit in the dressing for at least an hour as it helps to soften up both the papaya and the snake beans. YUM.
