The other day I decided to use the rest of my papaya and make this salad. The salad is just carrots, papaya, peanuts and cilantro. The sauce is lime juice, fish sauce, brown sugar, and Asian chili sauce. I took extra time to make this one pretty - creating long, thin strands. I have to admit it was labor intensive because I don't like my mandolin/grater thing. I have the older Pampered Chef one, and am too cheap to buy the new one. I think this would be great as a summer salad. I loved it, and enjoyed the complex taste. (Sounds like I'm describing wine). It was spicy, sour, salty and sweet all at once. Yum! Bryan, on the other hand, thought there was "too much going on", however he had no problem helping me finish it.
Like my cool green plate? Everyone knows green is my favorite color (just look at our kitchen). I made this plate at the local pottery shop this past December when we took our niece and nephew for the weekend. Bryan was a sport . . . he just sat there watching the kids, letting us paint away.
