Green Papaya Salad

Without a doubt one of my favourite dishes EVER!!! 🙌 This thai green papaya salad is spicy, sour, crunchy and everything yummy!

Although most fruits are no-nos on a low carb lifestyle, there are a few that can be enjoyed in moderation. Green papaya is one of them and this amazing salad is a great way to enjoy it.

Directions

Peel and seed the green papaya, then grate or julienne the flesh. One medium fruit should yield about 6 cups.

Squeeze out any excess liquid and place the green papaya in a large bowl.

In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice and zest, Swerve brown and salt.

To the large bowl with the green papaya, add the garlic, cilantro, scallion, Bird’s eye chili and peanuts.

Drizzle with the lime juice mixture and toss well.

Optionally, garnish with some chopped peanuts and fresh cilantro.

Enjoy as-is or top with some grilled chicken or other meat for added protein.
