Thai som tam salad, made with unripe papaya, is considered one of the most delicious dishes in the world, according to CNN. It offers a balanced combination of all four flavors: spicy, sweet, sour, and salty. Ingredients with different textures also harmoniously coexist. In addition to green papaya, the salad also includes other vegetables or seafood, which vary slightly by region. But the simplest version is to slice the papaya into long, thin strips, mix with tomatoes, blanched green beans, chopped peanuts, and fresh cilantro, and drizzle with an Asian dressing made with Thai fish sauce, lime juice, and chili pepper.
