Recipe by Herb Lady

Always searching for a new way to use zucchini. I love thai green papaya salad so I substituted zucchini for the green papaya. This can also be topped with boiled shrimp or chicken breast. I adapted this recipe from one I found at: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/10520
