Green Mango Salad (Neorm Svye Kchey) is an adaptation of the Asian green papaya salad in which green mango is used instead of papaya. Typically, the salad is made with crisp, raw green mango strips that have been coated in a sweet-sour dressing made with kaffir lime juice, palm sugar, and fish sauce.
The green mango salad from Cambodia is slightly different from that from Thailand or Laos and has its own, beautiful, fresh flavor. Although the dressing for both salads contains lime juice, fish sauce, sugar or palm sugar, the Cambodian salad is less spicy, frequently includes dried shrimp and/or fish, and uses less garlic
