This salad made with papaya is light and energizing. I could easily finish a huge bowl of it and not feel hungry again. Additionally, this salad is fairly healthful. Due to my preference for a lot of spice, I occasionally add more chilies. This dish is fantastic since it can be readily altered to suit different tastes.

Love it , just perfect ❣️
rating 3 stars because I don’t know how to shred a green papaya easily. I need that procedure to make the recipe complete.
This salad is delicious and just like they make it in HAWAII…. If you buy a papaya from the grocery store they usually are already having color inside so if you have an Asian market nearby, ask for the papaya salad…. papaya because they will be green inside and what you want. You can also buy a shredding tool that is less than $10.00 and it makes your salad perfect. LOVE THIS RECIPE
