Recipe by JustJanS

I ate a lot of papaya salad on a recent trip to Thailand and it's been my wish to make it at home Food.com member Leggy Peggy arrived to stay a few days ago and brought with her a green papaya for me to make this. My son bought me the little Thai cooking book in Thailand on our holiday that this came from.
