For an extra layer of flavor, try toasting the peanuts lightly before chopping. If you don’t have papaya on hand, mango makes a delicious substitute. Adjust the amount of chile pepper according to your preference for heat. A little goes a long way! This salad is best served immediately, but it can be prepared a few hours in advance. If preparing ahead, wait to add the peanuts and cilantro until just before serving to prevent them from becoming soggy. For a vegetarian option, substitute the fish sauce with soy sauce or tamari and add a pinch of sea salt.

Jan 13, 2025I found the dressing a bit too salty for my taste, so I reduced the amount of fish sauce. It was perfect after that!
