The Pro Kiwi Slicer makes this so much easier. Very yummy and the papaya is plentiful since I also live on Kaui. I substituted a few things with what is on hand and added cilantro. It’s seasoning in the fridge but the taste test was yummy.. this is a great dish to aid with digestion. Thanks Greg, another masterpiece to add to my favorites.

Mahalo, Jean. The salad is delicious cold and also at room temp. The Kiwi shredder is just great—and fun to use!

That little shredder looks amazing! I think this would be a great summer salad. I wonder if I can get a green papaya in Missoula.

Ask the GFS to order green papaya for salad. Also look online. 😀

Your post gave me a new line of inquiry to follow:

1. The Good Food Store has an article on its website about papaya which includes a description of green papaya. The same article appears on other natural food store sites.

2. It seems that green papayas are available year round.

I think I will send The Good Food Store a link to your post and ask them about it.

Please keep me posted on what you learn. I can always update my post! And yes, green papaya is in Kaua’i farmers markets year round, but in spurts.

Yes, there are green papayas available at The Good Food Store. I bought one yesterday evening.

I'm guessing that it's not difficult to find the dried shrimp where you are. I had to search quite a bit, but finally found some in Missoula at Samar International Food across from the mall. I walked around the store twice before I finally asked where they were. Of course, there were quite a lot of interesting items to look at.
