Today, I woke up craving Thai food. Since it’s very hot here in San Diego, I decided to prepare something fresh and fulfilling: Som Tum.
Som Tum or Green Papaya salad is one of the most popular dishes in Thailand. It’s traditionally served with dried shrimp or salted crab. My version is 100% plant-based. Since green papaya is out of season, I used organic green mangoes and green apples. I also added extra lime juice instead of fish sauce. I ended up with a surprisingly refreshing and delicious salad that truly resembles som tum. I hope you enjoy it!
If you try this recipe, let me know what you think. I’d love to hear from you.
