Vegan Green Papaya Salad

This Vegan Green Papaya Salad is so fresh and yummy! It packs a punch with the chilli, but also has a lot of other flavours and freshness going on!

If you have green papayas, making this salad is a great way to use it! A word of caution – perhaps wear some disposable gloves when cutting and handling the papaya. It has a kind of resin that seems to stick to your hands and is hard to wash off!

Fresh chilli gives this salad a nice kick, but if you don’t have it on hand, use chilli flakes. I used a vegan fish sauce in the dressing, but if you don’t have it, then add a bit of tamari and fresh lime juice in it’s place.

This recipe is awesome as a side salad, or a meal on it’s own if you feel like something light. We sometimes eat it with Teriyaki Tofu, which is a great combination! You could also try it with our Jalapeno Poppers, or sub it for the salad in our BBQ Chickpea Salad Bowls!
