Green Papaya Salad

Overview
A nice crunchy Thai salad that can be served with any fried food especially with fish. This year for easter instead of making the traditional Kerala onion salad that we serve with beef cutlets I made this Thai salad. I got this green papaya from the Asian store and wanted to make something different other than thoran. This salad is spicy and tangy and can be served with any fried or grilled fish too.
