Som Tam – carrot and kohlrabi salad
Som tam is a classic Thai dish, one of the most popular Thai salads. Originally, it's made with flavorless papaya, which is readily available and inexpensive in Asia. Since it's expensive and rare in Poland, you can substitute it with local kohlrabi, add carrots, tomatoes, and dressing. The dressing is key here – fresh, refreshing, spicy, and delicious!
