Asian-Style Green Papaya Salad Recipe - Cooking Index
Green papaya is almost flavorless and readily lends itself to an assertive dressing; for an even bolder flavor, add diced, fresh chilies to the salad. Remember that if you can't find this fruit preshredded, allow extra preparation time for shredding your own. An Asian-style seasoned and baked tofu adds another element of texture and flavor; if you can't find baked tofu, be sure at least to select a firm variety, even if it is unseasoned.
