A visit from Miss Kylie

Our lovely teacher friend from the desert came for her second visit this year, this time bringing her boyfriend, Jarrad.  The week was pretty much spent cooking and eating, so here is one of Miss Kylie’s creations:

Miss Kylie’s Green Papaya Salad

1 medium green papaya (paw paw), shredded with a mandoline or grated

1 medium cucumber, seeds removed and julienned

1 medium carrot, grated

A handful of cherry tomatoes, halved

A handful of peanuts, crushed (she also used some macadamias and hazelnuts that we had in the cupboard)

A handful of sunflower seeds

1 large red chilli, finely sliced

1 tsp dried chilli flakes

1 tsp palm sugar, grated

2 tsp fish sauce

2 tsp rice vinegar

1 Tbsp soy sauce

For the dressing, whisk together the fish sauce, vinegar and soy sauce, then add the palm sugar and dried chilli, stirring to combine.

Put the rest of the ingredients into a large bowl, toss to combine and then drizzle over the dressing.
