Thai Veg Papaya Salad Recipe (No Onion No Garlic)

Step 1: To prepare Veg Thai Papaya Salad (Without Pounding, No Onion No Garlic), shred the papaya using the largest grater or a sharp large knife (Thailand method) and run it under the surface continually to release nice and thin shreds

Step 2: In a food processor or chopper, add the chili, soya sauce, oil, lime juice and brown sugar

Step 3: Churn until liquid oozes from the chilli

Step 4: Slice the beans into segments and add them to the chopper or processor

Step 5: Pulse to lightly chop and bruise the beans (in Thailand the beans are pounded to bruise them, but this method works just as well)

Step 6: Place the shredded papaya, and other vegetables-tomatoes, bell peppers that you are using- in a large salad bowl, holding back some of the basil for the garnish

Step 7: Pour over the dressing and beans and toss

Step 8: Finally, add the nuts and toss again

Step 9: Adjust spices and taste as per requirement

Step 10: Serve Veg Thai Papaya Salad (No Onion No Garlic) as it is or as a side dish to any Thai entree

Step 11: If this is your main course, try serving like they do in Thailand, with a side of jasmine sticky rice
