Thai Beef Salad

Thai Beef Salad Junk food, take-away and packaged foods that don’t have much “flavours” can actually make you feel even more hungry afterwards because your palate is not satisfied and also there is a lack of nutrition. Cooking at home, on the other hand, is not only healthier but also is a great way of creating flavoursome food with different herbs and spices. Herbs are a fantastic way of adding flavour and nutrients to your dish. Here is a list of my favorite herbs I often use in my cooking. Especially, garlic and ginger is a must in Asian cooking. This Thai beef salad recipe is gluten-free, low-fat, high-protein, nourishing, tasty and packed with powerful nutrition. It also looks great with colourful veggies. Try tonight 🙂
