Dressing

- ¼ cup lime juice
- ½ palm or brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1T dried, salted shrimp
- 1-3 Thai chilies, minced
Salad
- 4 cups young green papaya, grated

- 8-10 cherry tomatoes, quartered, divided
- 1 cup chopped, roasted peanuts
For the Dressing:
Place the ingredients, 4 tomatoes and a quarter of the long beans into a blender and pulse them together for about 5 seconds. The dressing should be slightly chunky. The amount of chilies used depends on how spicy you like your food.
For the Papaya Salad:
In a large bowl, toss the papaya, remaining long beans, remaining tomatoes and some of the peanuts together with the dressing to taste. Make sure to aggressively mix the ingredients to slightly break up the tomatoes and beans. Garnish the salad with the remaining peanuts.
