Very good. Left the fish sauce off since I am a vegetarian. Did slightly blanch the green beans. Everyone thought it was great!

De-lish! I like to add a splash of soy sauce and olive oil to the dressing, and a can of rinsed black beans for a more hearty meal.

I make this salad all the time but add more fruit (all of the tropical variety, whatever's at the store, usually pineapple and sometimes some peaches too. My current roommate is allergic to papaya, so I've been improvising lately). The longer it sits, the spicier it gets. Because I can't always get the fish sauce for the dressing, I usually make up my own using the juices from an orange, lemon, & grapefruit with fresh ginger, rice vineager, and a little sugar.

This salad was amazing! Very refreshing and light. I made the salad about an hour before serving. This let the dressing be soaked up by the veggies and papaya and blended the flavors very well. Definitely will make again.

This was good but not great. I've had really fabulous green papaya salads in Thai restaurants, and next time I have green papaya on hand, I will try to replicate those instead!

This recipe is also called som tam, a thai dish. Very good for if you are dieting. I gave it 5 stars because it was great tasting(I cut down on the spice a pinch), easy to make, and my kids love the color in it. Will make again :)

This was soooo good and so easy. It's going to be a staple at home. I left the spicy stuff out and since I don't have papaya I replaced it with a cup of Tropical Fruit Mix from Dole which has some papaya in it. It was delicious. Don't leave the cilantro out and don't forget to chop the peanuts. It makes a difference.
