Green Papaya Salad

Ingredients

• 1 green papaya
• 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 recipe vinaigrette (see recipe)
• 12 drops Tabasco, or to taste
• Freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

1. Peel the papaya and cut in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Grate each half into thin strips into a bowl containing the lemon juice. Use either a hand grater or the grating disk of a food processor. Toss with the juice to prevent discoloring. Mix the papaya with the vinaigrette. Season to taste with the Tabasco and pepper. Allow to marinate at least 30 minutes before serving.
