Steps

1Peel the green papaya and carrot, then shred them into thin strips using a julienne peeler or mandoline. Trim green beans and halve cherry tomatoes.
2In a mortar and pestle, pound garlic and bird's eye chili until bruised.
3Add fish sauce, fresh lime juice, and palm sugar to the mortar, continuing to pound and mix until the sugar dissolves and a dressing forms.
4Add the shredded papaya, carrot, green beans, and cherry tomatoes to the mortar, then gently bruise them with the pestle while tossing to incorporate the dressing.
5Transfer the salad to a serving dish and sprinkle with roasted peanuts before serving.
