Green Papaya Salad (Som Tum- ส้มตำ)

by Caili Raymond

The green papaya salad is light and fresh. It embodies the flavors of Northeastern Thailand. In Thai, this salad is called som tum because "som" means sour and "tum" refers to the sound of the pestle crushing the ingredients. 

Includes: peanuts, lime juice, fish sauce, tomato, green beans, and green (unripe) papaya.
