Cuisine: Thai
Ingredients: 2 cups shredded green papaya; 1 tomato, chopped; 1 green bean, cut into 1-inch pieces; 2 cloves garlic; 2-3 Thai chilies; 1 tbsp fish sauce; 1 tbsp lime juice; 1 tbsp palm sugar; 2 tbsp roasted peanuts

Crisp shredded papaya meets fiery Thai chilies, tangy lime, and umami-rich fish sauce in this iconic salad that explodes with heat and brightness. The pounding technique bruises the vegetables just enough to release their juices while keeping everything refreshingly crunchy. Perfect as a light starter or cooling side dish that brings authentic Thai vibrancy to any meal.
