Thai Inspired Beef Salad

Thai flavors are probably my favorite, and I’m always trying to find different ways to incorporate them into dishes. With summer right around the corner, I thought a salad with Thai flavors was just what I needed in my life. This salad is packed with veggies and tossed with fresh herbs to make a bright and delicious salad. It’s perfect for meal prep because it tastes even better the next day. I enjoy salads for breakfast, and this one was perfect.

While champagne mangos are in season, I have been enjoying this salad weekly. Most of the ingredients are things I keep in the refrigerator, and the dressing can be made in a double batch to save on time.
