Thai Beef Salad with Tangy Tamarind Dressing

November 24, 2014 By Jo Anderson 1 Comment

Thai Beef Salad with Tangy Tamarind Dressing

I am having a love affair with tamarind at the moment. It is what sour dreams are made of and no I absolutely did not eat some straight out of the jar with a spoon. Well maybe just a little.

Last week I used it to make a sour Thai coconut soup that I ate for 5 meals in a row- seriously I couldn’t get enough of it. We have been having a heat wave on the Gold Coast (Well I’m pretty sure we have – maybe it’s just me and my super pregnant, overheating body) so I had to put the aircon on just to eat the soup, but you have to go with what your body is craving right? At least it’s things like tamarind, nectarines and pickled onions (together) and not Mars Bars and Twizzlers.

There is something about Thai flavors coming together in a crisp salad that makes your tastetbuds quiver in anticipation. Fresh, flavorful and cooling what could be better? This recipe is from my FREE ecookbook: Sensational Salads which can all yours by signing up in the sidebar.

Now if you’ll excuse me I will be over here with my jar of tamarind.
