Sweet Papaya Slaw
Devin recommends buying pre shredded green cabbage from the grocery store if you can find it. If not, make sure you shred it finely yourself. It makes for a much nicer slaw, especially given the other components in this recipe.
Peak season for papayas is early summer and fall, so I try to make this slaw often during those times.
