Thai Steak and Noodle Salad Recipe
Thai Steak and Noodle Salad Recipe
OK so salad is on the menu today. Don’t be like that. It’s not one of those salads. You know; a boring salad that leaves you hungry half an hour after you’ve finished it. This one has steak in it. Marinated steak with a Thai dressing, some crunchy vegetables, a ton of fresh herbs, toasted coconut, salted peanuts AND cooked noodles and finished with a spicy dressing. It was fresh and vibrant, filling and best of all – super healthy. But don’t tell the family that, they don’t need to know.
We had this Monday for dinner after being a bit naughty on the weekend and even though it was good for us it still felt and tasted naughty!
