Som Tam Salad!! Hey there! As we are doing this week with thai cuisine, here is the recipe of som tam salad. For me, thai cuisine is incomplete without som tam salad. The sweet-spicy and tangy taste of this salad make it unique from other salads. The fresh flavors of raw green papaya ad the crunchiness of peanuts make your taste bud satisfied. This is one of the easiest salads but most interesting as well. Every ingredient plays a very specific role in this salad. First, come raw papaya, the freshness of raw papaya made this salad mouth-watering. Whenever you buy raw papaya make sure it should not soft from the center because it will totally destroy your salad.
