Comments: Green papaya is almost flavorless and readily lends itself to an assertive dressing; for an even bolder flavor, add in diced, fresh chilies to the salad.
14
Remember which if you cannot find this fruit preshredded, allow extra preparation time for shredding your own.
15
An Asian-style seasoned and baked tofu adds another element of texture and flavor; if you cannot find baked tofu, be sure at least to select a hard variety, even if it is unseasoned.
