Papaya salad is something that I can eat everyday. It's tasty, light and extremely healthy for you. This salad is called "som tum" in Thai. som means papaya in Thai and tum means beating ingredients together. It is also referred to as "papaya pok pok" by the many foreigners that visit Thailand and have come to love the sweet, spicy and sour flavors of somtum. This salad originates from north-eastern Thailand but can be found in every province of the country.
