Green Papaya Salad

Looks good. Better than restaurant’s or takeaway?

I love papaya-green mango salad, especially if there’s some little salted crab and dried prawns thrown in. Had it as often as I could in Thailand. I remember watching the sellers pound the ingredients in a big mortar. How skilful they shredded the mango and papaya without fear, using a simple knife!

I make it sometimes in the summer but use frozen shredded papaya (from Vietnam). I’m afraid of mandolin and scary sharp tools.
