Vegan Som Tom (Green Papaya Salad)

Last year we posted the traditional way of making Som Tom (Green Papaya Salad). But if you are Vegan or Vegetarian you also can enjoy the taste of this mixture of freshness and spiciness. All you need are 10 ingredients.

If you don´t have or if you don´t want to buy a Green Papaya you also can use Carrots or Cucumber instead of Papaya.
