Easy Low Carb Thai Beef Salad
This simple Thai-inspired salad, made with a handful of ingredients, comes together quickly thanks to thin-sliced deli roast beef. If you have leftover roast beef in the fridge, it would make a nice substitution.

I was serving additional veggies but if you use this as a lunch in itself, add halved cherry tomatoes, chopped scallions or red onions andmore greens. Unless you're a real hot spice person, keep the chili amount the same—just one, seeded and chopped. 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.
