I have a lot of lettuce ready to harvest ...
... and I have beef left over from last night's dinner; so it's "Thai Beef Salad" for lunch ...
The Ingredients
For the dressing :
1 tsp grated lime peel
4-5 Thai chili peppers, finely minced (I used the pickled ones I grew last summer)
Juice of 2 limes (about 1/4 cup)
1 tbsp Thai fish sauce
1 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp canola oil
1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
Mix the lime juice, fish sauce and sugar in a small bowl and stir until the sugar dissolves. Whisk in the canola and sesame oils to form a vinaigrette and stir in the minced chilies and lime peel.
For the salad :
Lettuce for 2 servings of salad (leaf or romaine)
4 radishes, thinly sliced
1/2 small sweet onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cucumber, peeled and sliced
5 or 6 Thai basil leaves, shredded
8 ounces thinly sliced beef
Place the lettuce on a plate and top with the onions, radishes, cucumber and shredded basil. Arrange the beef on top of the salad and add dressing or serve it on the side ...
That just make me so hungry!
