This was so yummy! We just got back from Thailand and loved all the great food. I added mango instead of papaya (taste preference) and I also added sweet red peppers and used cashews because that was all I had. I cannot stop eating this salad! Thanks for the great recipe.

Very nice sauce. I'm sorry to say it turns out I don't like papaya, but that's not your fault! I love mango though so will try with that next time.

I make this salad very often these days. Instead of cubing the papayas though, I slice it very thinly. Also, I add chunky peanut butter to the sauce which gives incredible rich peanut flavor!

Light, refreshing and very colorful. I subbed mango for the papaya due to personal preference, and like others, I blanched the green beans. I thought there was a little something missing flavor-wise - maybe some ginger? - but all in all it was pretty good!

Great summer salad! Nice and refreshing on a hot day. I substituted tamari for the fish sauce since I'm vegan and used a combo of pineapple and mango to replace the papaya since it wasn't available at my grocery store. Would definitely make again.

DELISH! I made this to use up some ingredients I had on hand, so my expectations weren't that high. Wow, was I thrilled with the results. I used mango and pineapple instead of papaya, had cashews instead of peanuts, and didn't have fish sauce so I upped the soy sauce slightly. With the changes, still a winner. I served over Jasmine rice-yum! My husband is always skeptical when I make these healthy, unique, ethnic dishes, and offers some constructive criticism. But this one left him speechless--he LOVED it. I will be making this again soon. Thanks for sharing!!

Gorgeous, healthy and delicious! To make this papaya salad more authentic, I found a papaya that was still as green as possible and grated it to make up the bulk of the salad. I love peanuts on this but was disappointed to find last minute that I was out. I subbed toasted sesame seeds instead and it was good. The flavours in this salad are phenomenal. Thank you, I will make this again and again as it felt like I was right there in Thailand!
