Vietnamese Green Papaya Salad

Posted on April 21, 2021April 21, 2021 by Demir D.

VIETNAMESE GREEN PAPAYA SALAD

As promised this is one of the recipes I made at My Grandma’s Home Cooking class in Hoi An, Vietnam, back in December. This dish was one of the best I’ve had during my entire stay in Vietnam –  Vietnamese green papaya salad is refreshing and light, full of vitamins and fibres. It is a colourful healthy meal that can be prepared quickly for a light lunch or as a side. The crunchy roasted peanuts add some texture to the dish while the lime and chili dressing give it some zing.
