RAW THAI SALAD

Raw Thai-Inspired Salad

Serves 2

Ingredients:

• 5 cherry tomatoes 
• 2 red chilli peppers 
• 1 tablespoon dried shrimp
• 1 1/2 tablespoons fish sauce (use tamari for vegans and vegetarians)
• 1 clove garlic 
• 100g organic green beans 
• 500g green papaya, julienned or spiralised
• 1 organic carrot, julienned
• 1 lime or 3 drops of lime essential oil
• 1.5 tablespoons coconut sugar 
• 2 tablespoons toasted almonds, crushed (optional)
• coriander leaves, (to garnish)

Instructions:

1. Julienne green papaya using a julienne peeler. If not using right away, soak in ice water for a few minutes, then drain and pat dry with paper towel before tossing.

2. Add garlic, toasted almonds, dried shrimps, chilli, shallots, green beans, honey and fish sauce to mortar. Squeeze lime juice and add in the lime rind. Pound with pestle to gently crush the ingredients to release their flavours, about a minute.

3. Add cherry tomatoes and green papaya. Pound gently until tomatoes are softly crushed, moist but still intact. Toss to coat evenly. Remove lime rind. Transfer to serving plate and garnish with coriander.
