Shredded green papaya and date salad

By Abigail Donnelly
4
Easy
10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 green paw-paw, peeled
  • 6 dates, torn
  • Fresh mint for serving
  • For the dressing, whisk together:

  • 1 x 5 cm ginger piece, grated
  • 3 garlic cloves, grated
  • 1 T honey
  • 1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
  • 1 T fish sauce
  • 1 t sugar
  • 1 lemon, juiced

Method

Shred the paw-paw into thin strands and arrange in a shallow bowl.

Drizzle over the dressing, top with torn dates and fresh mint and serve.

Cook’s note: If you can’t get green paw-paw, try shredded mango, or cucumber, for a savoury version.
