This spicy papaya salad is spicy (obviously!), fresh, and aromatic with a bit of crunch from a sprinkling of sweet and smoky roasted peanuts. When you are shopping for your papayas make sure you buy nice bright green ones. I know that in most instances ripe fruit is best, but in this salad we want unripe green papaya. This salad keeps well in the fridge for a few days, but I advise that you keep the peanuts separate in a sealed jar until you serve, otherwise they tend to go a bit soggy.
