Sum Siam Salad

We are so fortunate to live close to two different huge and amazing Asian Supermarkets. I was searching our local produce places for this Green Papaya but came up empty til I thought of going to the Assi and of course, found what I was looking for. Anyway, this is easy and makes my mouth water:

1 Large Green Papaya (~4 cups shredded)
3/4 tomato (seeded)

dressing:
3 TBS brown sugar
1.5 TBS lime juice
2 cloves of garlic (mashed to a pulp)
3 TBS fish sauce
4 dried chili peppers (crushed)

crushed peanuts to garnish

I mixed the "dressing" together and threw it in the microwave for 20 seconds and stirred til the sugar dissolved into the rest of the liquid then tossed with the rest. Garnish with crushed peanuts, topple on cabbage, add dried shrimp or green beans. Even better the next day!! Yummy!
