Last week had been quite heavy on food. We had a few relatives visiting us and so of course a lot of food happened. To compensate the excessive amount of drinking and eating last week, I am planning to eat some healthy stuff this week. The papaya tree in the backyard is full of small baby papayas and so planned to make this Spicy Thai Green Papaya Salad for yesterday’s dinner. The salad is full of crunch from raw papaya, bean sprouts and peanuts and the spicy soy based dressing adds a perfect spike to it.
Though I have tried making various salads like Starfruit Almond Salad, Avocado Lentil Salad, and the list is just endless, yet, Spicy Thai Green Papaya Salad continues to be my favourite!
So, if you are a big time papaya fan then Spicy Thai Green Papaya Salad is a must make, so do try it, here’s its super easy recipe:
