1. NOTE: the papaya needs to be green papaya.
2. Prepare the dressing: Mix all the ingredients for the dressing in a small bowl and set aside. ( Ingredients from the vinegar till the red chili)
3. Prepare the papaya: Slice off the ends of the GREEN papaya. Using a vegetable peeler, peel the outer skin. Hold the peeled papaya with one hand and tap the papaya with a sharp knife with the other other. You should see shallow knife marks on the papaya. Carefully slice off a layer of the papaya (where you have been tapping), creating green papaya shreds.
4. Toss the salad: In a large bowl, mix the green papaya, carrots, cucumber, mint and sunflower seeds. Pour in the dressing that's been marinating and toss to coat the vegetables with the dressing. Serve immediately. Add red hot chili peppers if you like a spicy kick.
