Easy Low Carb Thai Beef Salad

WW Recipe of the Day: Low Carb Thai Beef Salad

On a whim, I had a little get together a few weeks ago. It was a simple lunch for two that I pulled together in about ½ hour. With the help of my local deli, I made this enticing protein packed Thai-inspired Beef Salad. It has only a few simple ingredients that gives it the classic taste with a deli twist.

Of course the salad can be made with baked or grilled roast beef. However it's really easy with rare sliced roast beef. The deli can slice it paper thin which makes the salad easy to eat with both chopsticks if you're adept or with a fork.

I served it on a small buffet with another veggie and rice salad, fruit, and slices of a non traditional sliced baguette just because I love them.

Recipe Notes, Variations and Substitutions

Deli meats have a lot of added salt, so with the soy sauce it's a good idea to avoid adding any more additional salt. To make things even simpler, use an English or Persian cucumber; you can leave these varietals unpeeled and just slice and add.

Sesame oil is intense, so use very sparingly. If you choose, you can avoid it completely and just use a neutral vegetable oil.

Two bottles of Sesame Oil

I made a basic salad with just the beef and refreshing cucumber slices with a little lettuce on the bottom. I was serving additional veggies but if you use this as a lunch in itself, add halved cherry tomatoes, chopped scallions or red onions and more greens. Unless you're a real hot spice person, keep the chili amount the same—just one, seeded and chopped.

Serving Suggestions

Sesame coated noodles or Asian veggies like steamed and cooled bok choy can be served along with the salad. Crispy rice crackers would be excellent along with Asian pears for dessert.

Ways to Use Leftovers

Leftovers can be stored and eaten within 2 days. The flavor will be wonderful although any leftover lettuce might wilt and need replacing. Thai seasoned beef can be added to a veggie beef stir fry.
