Add the grated green papaya and cherry tomatoes to the mixing bowl. Using a pestle or a large spoon, gently pound and mix the ingredients together, making sure that the papaya and tomatoes are coated with the dressing.

Add the crushed peanuts and fresh coriander leaves to the mixing bowl. Toss everything together until well combined.

Transfer the papaya salad to a serving plate, garnish with additional peanuts and coriander leaves, and serve immediately.

Note: If you cannot find green papaya, you can substitute it with green mango or cucumber. Also, adjust the amount of chilies based on your desired level of spiciness. Enjoy!
