After coming back from a long holiday in Thailand I have been craving this dish daily! Even local Thai restaurants back home weren't hitting the mark! This is EXACTLY like it tasted in Thailand! I LOVED IT! Thank you so much for sharing! <3

One thing I would not do again though is add the lime peel - it somehow got into the flavor of the sauce lending a somewhat bitter citrus note to the dressing. Otherwise 5 start great!

I’m preparing some for a potluck in the morning! If it’s the same day just make all of it at home and bring it in with an extra side of crushed peanuts. Since I’m making it tonight I’m doing everything except the tomatoes, and will pound them in before leaving the house in the am.

Hi Alysa,
For potluck dinner how did you take your salad. Did you mix everything before you took it or assemble on arrival. Thanks.

My papaya salad was a hit at the company potluck.

And the tip to use a bowl of you don't have a big enough mortar was extremely helpful. I revisit this recipe all the time when I want my dish to turn out great.

It's right there on the page above the recipe, but do you have ad blockers enabled? That will block the video.

You mention there's a full video tutorial, but I don't see the video anywhere on this page. Can you please help?

You mean the crab? It should be broken enough that you can suck out the sweet flesh.

Tried it with Kohlrabi too, today. It's perfect! It's local and way cheaper than the green papaya. I also added one shredded carrot and used our local green beans (which have to be blanched).

For everybody who cannot get green papaya and lives in a colder country, I recently found the perfect substitute for it: turnip cabbage / kohlrabi! Trust me, it has the perfect texture and in the salad it tastes just like green papaya. I couldn't believe it before I made it myself. I am soooo happy I found this very cheap alternative to green papaya. I make som tum very often now and enjoy it with home made larb and sticky rice. Yummmmy!
