Thai Beef Salad
Recipe video above. A great Thai Beef Salad comes down to the perfect balance of flavours in the dressing. To achieve this, I'm going to ask you to use teaspoons to measure the garlic and chilli. Because - not all garlic cloves are the same size. So annoying, right??!Grinding coriander to mix into the dressing gives this an extra dimension that makes this a restaurant standard recipe. It makes all the difference to the flavour!
