Nyoam Svay is a vibrant, crunchy salad that showcases Cambodia's love of sour, salty, sweet flavor combinations. Julienned unripe green mango provides the tart base, topped with dried shrimp, crushed peanuts, fresh herbs, and fried shallots. The dressing is a pungent mix of fish sauce, lime, sugar, and chili. It's refreshing, addictive, and often served as a shared appetizer.
