Som Tam Salad (Thai Papaya Salad)
Som Tam is a famous street food in Thailand and is popular with the tourists. It is made up of shredded unripe papaya or green mangoes and tossed with a sweet, tangy and spicy dressing along with grated peanut for extra crunch! It is usually served as an appetiser.
