Green Papaya Salad



Papaya salad, an appetizer also known as "som tam" is a popular Thai salad. The combination of sour, spicy and saltiness of fish sauce make it a unique flavor. Papaya salad is preparation varied from every Southeast Asian countries.

For my version, I used the available ingredients in my kitchen, dried chili pepper, almond nuts and of course tiparos (fish sauce), the star of the papaya salad.

  • Salt


Direction:

  1. Peel and cut the papaya into small strands.
  2. In a blender combine the chili pepper,  lime juice, fish sauce and sugar. Blend until smooth. Set aside for 15 minutes to allow flavors to blend.
  3. In a salad bowl, combine the papaya and chopped cilantro.
  4. Add the dressing and toss to combine thoroughly.
  5. Garnish chopped nuts.
  6. Serve immediately.
