Have you ever been in a salad rut?
Like, you are tired of eating the same salad over and over and need some major salad inspo?
Don’t worry, I’ve been there many times. But, my favorite thing about salads is that once your creative juices start flowing, you are bound to create a salad masterpiece!
This Thai Beef Salad is one of my favorites when I want to switch things up.
Its light and fresh and comes together in no time. I use shredded beef, but any cut of steak will also work well! One the meat is cooked, all you have to do is toss everything together and voilà, your salad is done!
