Som tam is a popular Thai salad featuring green papaya and a spicy chili pepper dressing. Traditionally, it's pounded with a mortar and pestle, which can be fun at times. However, it's also messy and a lot of work.

To make this tasty salad much easier to toss together, simply turn to your handy food processor or chopper. This recipe was adapted for that modern convenience and there is very little difference in the taste.
