This salad is amazing! The flavors really pop. Will definitely make again!
So glad you loved it! The dressing is key, huh? Have you tried adding any other veggies?
I thought it was too sour when I made it. Maybe I just added too much lime? 🤷♂️
This was sooo good! The beef was tender and the flavor was bomb. Will make again!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! The combination of flavors is amazing. Have you tried it with chicken instead of beef?
It looks good, but I wonder if the fish sauce is too strong? I’m not a huge fan of fishy tastes. I might skip it.
Tasty! I added peanuts for crunch. Can’t believe how easy it was. Definitely a keeper!
Yum! I added avocados too, and it was a party in my mouth. Love it!
How can people eat this? Steak and salad don’t belong together. Nasty!
I totally disagree! This salad looks amazing, and the beef makes it more filling. It’s one of my favorites!
But steak and salad are a classic combo! You should definitely give it a try instead of judging it without tasting!
I did not like this recipe. The dressing was too fishy for me. Maybe I did it wrong?
This is more like a regular salad with a bit of steak thrown on top. Where’s the THAI?
I see your point, but the dressing has Thai flavors. Give it a try! It can be more authentic than it looks!
