Papaya Salad

As you can see, my photographer (wife) wasn’t around when I made this quick salad. Believe me when I say, it tastes far better than the picture makes it appear. Try to find unripe, or green, papayas for this as they provide a crunchier texture than the rather ripe ones I had handy. It tastes great either way, though it’s definitely better with green papaya.

Serves: 4

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon agave nectar
1 clove garlic – finely chopped or grated
