Yum or Thai salad is an essential dish in any Thai meal. Yum means the combination of various ingredients that vary in favors, aromas, and textures. Typically, yum’s ingredients are cut into small pieces then mixed well in salad dressing. Most Thai salad dressings consist of 4 spiciness from fresh or dried chilies (depend on the type of the dressing); saltiness from salt and fish sauce; sweetness from sugar or palm sugar; and sourness from white vinegar, lime juice, tamarind paste, or other sour fruits such as mango, star gooseberry and madan fruit. The inviting aroma of Thai salad comes from coriander roots, garlic and peppercorns
