Vegan Papaya Salad
Shredded papaya, carrot, tomato and peanuts in a tangy spicy dressing made with crushed chili peppers, lime juice, minced garlic and tamarind.
Originating from the Thailand north-eastern region of Isaan (pronounced e-san), Som Tam, the Thai name for Papaya Salad, has evolved over centuries, blending indigenous traditions with influences from neighboring Laos and Cambodia. Dating back to the days when the mortar and pestle were the artisan's tools, Thai Papaya Salad emerged as a symphony of bold flavors and textures. We strive to honor the past and preserve tradition, embracing its protagonist the green papaya, shredded skillfully to maintain a crisp crunch, serves as the canvas for a medley of ingredients including chili peppers, tangy tamarind, sea salt and a touch of palm sugar. This delightful dance of tastes reflects the Thai philosophy of achieving harmony through the balance of sweet, sour, spicy, and salty elements.
