published Jul 17, 2023 Green papaya salad, called som tum, is a fiercely fresh, fruity, and sensationally spicy dish from the world of Asian Cuisine. It is fruity, tangy, tart, crunchy, spicy, and simply irresistible. The first time I ate this (seated at a long table sharing family-style) I had no idea what it was and soon realized it was green mango. I was hooked after the first bite!
