About this dish
Green papaya salad is a spicy salad made from shredded unripe papaya. It is believed to have been created by Lao people and is considered one of the national dishes of Laos. The dish is also popular in neighboring Thailand, particularly in the Isan region, where the population is predominantly ethnic Lao. From Isan, green papaya salad spread throughout Thailand and became a staple of Thai cuisine. Beyond Laos and Thailand, green papaya salad has also gained popularity across continental Southeast Asia, including Cambodia, Myanmar, and Vietnam..
