Instructions
Easy Green Papaya Salad Dressing
- Add 5 tablespoons lime juice (this is about 1ยฝย limes juiced), 3 cloves of minced garlic, 2 tablespoons brown sugar (light or dark), 1 teaspoon miso paste, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon of chile crisp to a large mixing bowl.
- Mix until fully combined and set aside.
- Makes over 1/2 cup of dressing.
Thai Watermelon Rind Salad
- You can shred the watermelon rind with a cheese grater but if you use a food processor, I suggest facing the heartier green part of the rind towards the middle of the blade, where there is more support. It will shred easier.
- Add 4 cups of shredded watermelon rind and 1/2 cup Easy Green Papaya Salad Dressing to a large mixing bowl, and mix together.
- Cover and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to marinate.
- Remove from the refrigerator and mix in 16 ounces of green beans and 8 ounces of sliced grape tomatoes.
- Divide salad and top off with 1/4 cup chopped cilantro and 1/4 chopped peanuts.
- Enjoy!
Storage Tips:
How to Store Citrus
Citrus looks great on the counter, but is best stored in a loose bag in the fridge. It prefers to be cold. Stored this way, fresh citrus can keep for months.
How to Store Herbs
Store herbs like cut flowers, in the refrigerator, in a jar with some water just covering the stems. Soft herbs like cilantro may need to be covered with a bag to prevent further wilting.
Jerry’s Hacks:
How to Pick Watermelon
Choose watermelons that feel heavy for their size and have a nice even shape. Look for melons that have a yellowish spot amongst the green rind.
How to Soften Brown Sugar
Add brown sugar to a microwave safe bowl and cover with a damp towel. Nuke 10 seconds at a time, stirring in between. Careful not to burn or melt the sugar.
