Som Tam, a vibrant and flavorful Thai green papaya salad, is a cornerstone of Thai cuisine. This refreshing dish typically combines shredded green papaya, tomatoes, green beans, and carrots, tossed with lime juice, fish sauce, palm sugar, chili, and garlic for a perfect balance of sweet, salty, sour, and spicy flavors. Often finished with crushed peanuts and dried shrimp, it’s a nutrient-packed option rich in vitamins A and C, fiber, and antioxidants from the vegetables and lime juice. The peanuts add heart-healthy fats, while the chili boosts metabolism. However, the fish sauce and dried shrimp contribute to its high sodium content and may not suit those with dietary restrictions. A light and zesty dish, Som Tam is widely appreciated for its fresh ingredients and bold taste, making it a health-conscious yet indulgent choice in Southeast Asian cuisine.
