Green Mango Som Tum Style Salad
- 1/2 Green mango
- 1 Cucumber
- 2 bunch Watercress (or mesclun)
- 1 tbsp Pine nuts (or your choice of nuts)
- 3 tbsp All-purpose fish sauce
- 4 Dried shrimp
- 1 Cilantro
- 2 tsp Grapeseed oil
- This mango is very big!
- It was too bad that it's a little ripe already, but since I usually don't see them sold, I just had to buy it.
- The color of the skin is still green even when it's ripe inside and it's hard to judge from the outside.
- This mango was already ripe enough to eat it straight.
- Ordinarily, this dish is made with an unripe and sour mango, but since it was already sweet, I added some cucumber, too!
- Peel and julienne the cucumber into the same size as the mango.
- I also added watercress to give the sweet mango a little kick.
- Rinse and drain the watercress and gently toss it in.
- Transfer it to a serving bowl and sprinkle on the pine nuts.
- Chopped peanuts are used for the genuine Som Tam, but I had a lot of pine nuts.
- Drizzle on the Som Tam dressing and it is done.
- If you like cilantro, you can substitute it instead of watercress.
- I don't really like it, so I added just a little in the sauce...
- To make the salad dressing Soak the dried shrimp in a bowl of water to rehydrate and finely chop.
- The cilantro can be either fresh or dried.
- Blend it evenly with the fish sauce.
- Add the oil to your preference.
