An easy summer side dish for alongside a dinner or a picnic lunch.Simply combine one cup shredded papaya, 1/2 cup shredded carrot, and 1/2 cup red bell pepper slices in a medium bowl. It was easy to finely slice red pepper slices and easier still to buy pre-shredded carrot, but I was a bit confused as to how one shreds a papaya. Luckily, I found the coolest instructive video online. Watch it here: http://thai-laos-food.blogspot.com/2006/03/shredding-green-papaya.html
If that seems too complicated, peel a papaya and cut in half. Very thinly slice it with a knife.
To the papaya mixture, add one tablespoon grated, peeled ginger, 1 teaspoon grated lime rind, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1/4 tsp. salt and a 1/4 tsp. pepper. Toss to combine; cover and chill until ready to serve.
1/2 cup is 30 calories - you'll have about 4 servings of that size.
Cost:
papaya $3.36
pre-shredded carrot $1.79
red bell pepper $1.18
limes $1.50
