Love for Food

I love Thai Beef Salad and never thought about making it on my own. Lots of flavor and spice with mint and cilantro. Thinly sliced rare-ish beef to top it off. Yum! I found this recipe in the Weight Watchers Magazine. I find the magazine a bit boring and for an older crowd, but happen to get it for free. (Due to a three box top of low cal popcorn promotion). The current issue featured quick meals, and this salad was one of them. The main idea is the dressing, herbs, and the beef. The rest of the ingredients can be swapped to your liking. I used arugula and radish tops for the greens. I used radishes but not carrots since I had none. I was pleased with the taste. I love the large amount of fresh herbs in the salad. The addition of the beef makes it a true meal.
