Thai Inspired Mango Slaw
I am pretty much obsessed with green papaya salad since a recent trip to Thailand but it is so hard to find green papayas. Literally six stores later, including two specialty Asian markets, and no green papaya to be found. So I decided to make a salad inspired by traditional green papaya salad using mangoes. If you want a more traditional version, look for unripe mangoes – the greener the better. For a sweeter version, ripe mangoes work great. It’s delicious both ways and the perfect side dish for warmer months.

Instructions
(Hide Photos)If you have a mortar and pestle, add the garlic and red chiles and pound roughly a few times. The more you pound it down, the stronger the garlic flavor and more heat you will get. If you don’t have a mortar and pestle, just use a wooden spoon in a bowl to press into the garlic and peppers a few times.
Add the green beans, fish/soy sauce, sugar, and lime juice. Pound down (and/or mix) until the sugar dissolves.
Add the mango, broccoli slaw, and tomatoes. Mix together and taste. Add more fish sauce/soy sauce for salt and more lime juice for sour.
Top with peanuts.
