This is Thai's Som Tum and Cambodia's Bok Lahong inspired salad recipe.

NOTE:
Since Green papaya is not always available, Cucumber can be a good substitute and green apple is used to replace green mango. Add other crunchy veggies like carrot & cabbage. Throw in some green/snake beans, small/cherry tomatoes for the colour.

The most important part of this Thai & Cambodia inspired Salad is the sauce or dressing. It should taste sweet, sour, salty and spicy.

(Customize to your preference & taste).
