1
Prepare the Papaya and Carrots
Using a vegetable peeler or a julienne peeler, shred the green papaya into thin strips. Do the same with the carrot. Place both in a large mixing bowl.
2
Add Fresh Herbs
Roughly chop the fresh mint and cilantro leaves. Add them to the bowl with the papaya and carrots. If using, thinly slice the chili peppers and add them to the mixture for heat.

3
Mix the Dressing
In a small bowl, combine lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, and minced garlic. Whisk together until the sugar is dissolved.
4
Combine Salad and Dressing
Pour the dressing over the salad mixture in the large mixing bowl. Toss well to ensure all ingredients are coated with the dressing.

5
Serve the Salad
Transfer the Green Papaya Salad to a serving plate or bowl. Garnish with additional mint or cilantro if desired. Serve immediately.
