Lime-Dressed Vermicelli with Edamame and Green Papaya

Long, thin shreds of papaya and carrot look best in this refreshing salad. Make them yourself with a mandoline slicer or look for pre-shredded vegetables in the produce section of well-stocked Asian markets. Those with milder taste preferences may cut down on or eliminate the red pepper flakes. Spicy food lovers might prefer substituting fresh minced Thai bird’s-eye chiles for a jolt of extra-fiery heat.
