    Papaya Salad

    Papaya Salad

    If you have visited Thailand and walked along the street, you would have noticed the every street food and every market in Thailand have the papaya salad vendors with different types of papaya salad.

    It is the food that most of the Thais can eat every day especially girls and women.

    Green papaya salad is a pretty healthy food.  It has no fat unless you add peanuts and / or dried shrimp.  In the regular recipe, it uses granulated white sugar or palm sugar in the papaya salad, but I chose to use stevia instead.

If you don’t have them there is no need to buy them , you can put those ingredients in a Ziplock bag and use a rolling pin to crush them.

    5. <ol><li class="instruction">Mix all the ingredients together. Make sure that you mix and crush them well. This is how the green papaya, green beans, and tomatoes get all flavors. (Tip! I like to crush the tomatoes because I want the juice from the tomatoes, especially cherry tomatoes, and this way you may not need any sugar or Stevia in the salad because the tomato juice gives some sweetness.)</li></ol>
