Brady Evans with a perfect replica of the classic Thai signature beef salad.
By Brady Evans
My husband, without fail, orders this salad every single time we go out to eat Thai food. He craves the coolness of the vegetables combined with the spiciness of the dressing. We were both skeptical about whether or not this meal could be pulled off at home. But there was no need to be: this was a fantastic stand in for his usual Thai restaurant fare.
I’m especially glad it was such a success: now he’ll be able to venture out and actually try different dishes at Thai restaurants.
