Thai-Style Zesty Papaya Salad

Course - Salads :: Serves - 4

This vibrant salad has a pleasant crunch, thanks to freshly julienned green papaya and carrots. It has a decidedly Thai-inspired flavor with the addition of fish sauce, garlic, hot Serrano chilis, and some zesty cilantro. Sprinkle crushed peanuts on top for the traditional Thai garnish.
