Traditionally, Som Tam is pretty spicy, and while ours has a little kick, it's definitely more on the mild side. Trader Joe's Citrus Chicken Salad begins with a bed of shredded cabbage and julienned carrots, joined by shaved daikon radish, and of course, sliced green papaya. We've added grilled chicken to ours, for a boost of flavor and protein, and topped the mélange with fresh cilantro, green onion, and a wedge of lime you can squeeze over the salad before you dress it. Speaking of dressing… the dressing here is an authentic Thai recipe with sugar for a touch of sweet, lime and Nam Pla for sour, and chilies to give that little kick we promised.
I really can't add very much more, except to say that it was delicious. The added lime wedge for squeezing over the salad gave it a super-fresh, super-citrus kick that really pumped this one up to a 5/5.
