Instructions
- Peel the green papaya, cut it in half, remove the seeds and grate the flesh into long strands using a coarse grater or a knife.
- Put the grated papaya in a bowl, sprinkle with salt and let it rest for 15 minutes so it releases some liquid.
- Rinse it quickly under cold water, then squeeze it firmly between your hands to drain it well.
- Finely slice the chillies and the onion, then mix them with the papaya.
- Add the diced tomatoes, vinegar, sugar and lime juice, then mix well.
- Let it marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour before serving so the flavours can develop.
Variations and tips
Milder version. Use just one chilli and add a little grated carrot to soften the salad.
