Ensalada Thai de papaya verde

Cultural Context

Originating from the northeastern region of Thailand, Som Tum is a vibrant salad that reflects the country's love for bold flavors and fresh ingredients. Traditionally served as a street food dish, it combines the crunch of green papaya with the heat of chilies and the tang of lime, creating a refreshing balance. Today, variations of this salad can be found worldwide, often adapted to local tastes and available ingredients.
