Asian Papaya Salad

Yields1 ServingPrep Time20 mins

Tangy and slightly spicy salad made with ripe papaya. Don't use green papaya, but don't use a super soft ripe papaya either. Choose one that's firm with skin that's just barely starting to turn yellow.

 1 papaya
 1 bunch green onions
 2 tbsp ponzu citrus vinegar
 2 tbsp soy sauce
 ¼ cup ginger beer
 ½ cup cilantro
 ½ tsp kosher salt
 ½ tsp ground black pepper
 rind of one lime
 juice of one lime
 2 tsp sesame oil
 2 tbsp black sesame seeds
 2 tbsp ground aleppo pepper
1

Peel papaya and remove the seeds. Slice into matchsticks and place in a large mixing bowl. Add green onions and set aside.

2

Mix the remaining ingredients in a separate bowl with a whisk. Taste for seasoning and adjust to your taste.

3

Fold dressing into papaya to coat evenly while being careful not to squish or break up the papaya. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
