Carrot Som Tum

Love the famous Thai green papaya salad but struggle to find the ingredients at your local supermarket? Then this one is for you. It uses carrot instead of papaya but still has the spicy kick. Perfect for a hot summer day, it’s a great salad to serve as a starter or side to your main meal.

Absolutely amazing!!

It’s so hard (and expensive to get green papaya here in the uk) and whenever I’m in Thailand som tum is my go to dish!!!!

So soo happy I can make it with carrots and its so so close to the original som tum!

I could literally eat it every day 🤗
